Peale Green vs Duck Green
Where Peale Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Duck Green is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Peale Green (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Duck Green (LRV 8), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Peale Green runs green while Duck Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Peale Green vs Duck Green in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Peale Green and Duck Green are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Peale Green gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Peale Green reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. Peale Green reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Peale Green reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The brightness difference is modest but present — Peale Green gives the walls a little more lift.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Peale Green reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Peale Green on one side and Duck Green 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.
