Nile Green vs Tea Light
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Nile Green reads as green, while Tea Light reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tea Light (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than Nile Green (LRV 19), a difference of 41 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. With a ΔE of 46.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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