Mineral SpringsBenjamin MoorevsPine NeedleDuluxΔE 56.7Very different colors

Mineral Springs (Benjamin Moore) and Pine Needle (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Mineral Springs reads as blue, while Pine Needle reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 55-point LRV gap — 62 for Mineral Springs vs 7 for Pine Needle — means Mineral Springs will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways.

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.
