Lily Pad vs Quaking Grass
Lily Pad is a Benjamin Moore color while Quaking Grass comes from PPG. These are both yellows, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within yellow to land. With LRVs of 51 and 52, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.8, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
