Misty Teal vs Duck Green
Misty Teal (Benjamin Moore) and Duck Green (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Misty Teal reads as blue, while Duck Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 65-point LRV gap — 73 for Misty Teal vs 8 for Duck Green — means Misty Teal will open up a space more effectively. Where Misty Teal leans green and blue, Duck Green reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 56.4 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.
