Limestone vs Pine Needle

LimestoneBenjamin MoorevsPine NeedleDuluxΔE 59.8Very different colors

Limestone (Benjamin Moore) and Pine Needle (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Limestone belongs to the beige-yellow family and Pine Needle to the green family. The 59-point LRV gap — 66 for Limestone vs 7 for Pine Needle — means Limestone will open up a space more effectively. Where Limestone leans yellow, Pine Needle reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 59.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
