Moonshine vs Airy Green
Moonshine (Benjamin Moore) and Airy Green (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. Moonshine reads as grey, while Airy Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 69 for Airy Green vs 67 for Moonshine — means Airy Green will open up a space more effectively. Where Moonshine leans green and yellow, Airy Green reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 1.9 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Moonshine vs Airy Green in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Moonshine and Airy Green are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. At this scale the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side, as shown here, to reliably tell them apart.

Moonshine vs Airy Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Moonshine on one side and Airy 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.
