Mahogany vs Duck Green
Mahogany (Benjamin Moore) and Duck Green (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Mahogany reads as pink, while Duck Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 8-point LRV gap — 8 for Duck Green vs 0 for Mahogany — means Duck Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Mahogany leans warm, Duck Green reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 20.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mahogany on one side and Duck Green on the other.
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.
