Lime Green vs Iron Ore
Lime Green (Benjamin Moore) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Lime Green reads as green-yellow, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 39-point LRV gap — 45 for Lime Green vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Lime Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Lime Green leans green and yellow, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 91.2 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.
