Northern Lights vs Obsidian Green
Northern Lights (Benjamin Moore) and Obsidian Green (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. The 41-point LRV gap — 43 for Northern Lights vs 1 for Obsidian Green — means Northern Lights will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 65.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
