North Shore Green vs Pine Forest paint color comparison

North Shore Green vs Pine Forest

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, North Shore Green belongs to the green family and Pine Forest to the green-grey family. North Shore Green (LRV 71) reflects noticeably more light than Pine Forest (LRV 49), a difference of 21 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 13.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
