Lime Froth vs Iron Ore
Lime Froth (Benjamin Moore) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Lime Froth reads as green-yellow, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 82-point LRV gap — 88 for Lime Froth vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Lime Froth will open up a space more effectively. Where Lime Froth leans green, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 69.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
