Kensington Green vs Celestial Blue
Where Kensington Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Celestial Blue is a Little Greene color. These are both blue-greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-green to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (45 vs 44), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Kensington Green runs green and blue while Celestial Blue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Kensington Green vs Celestial Blue in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Kensington Green and Celestial Blue are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

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.
