Old WorldBenjamin MoorevsScuba GreenBenjamin MooreΔE 71.9Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Old World belongs to the pink-red family and Scuba Green to the blue-green family. At LRV 61 vs 44, Scuba Green will read as the brighter of the two — a 16-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Old World's red character against Scuba Green's green and blue — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 71.9, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
