Neon Celery vs New Retro

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Neon Celery reads as green-yellow, while New Retro reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Neon Celery (LRV 81) reflects noticeably more light than New Retro (LRV 77), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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.
