Green Tea vs Iron Ore
Green Tea (Benjamin Moore) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Green Tea belongs to the beige-green family and Iron Ore to the grey family. The 22-point LRV gap — 28 for Green Tea vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Green Tea will open up a space more effectively. Where Green Tea leans red, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 38.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
