Pistachio vs Acorn
Pistachio (Benjamin Moore) and Acorn (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Pistachio reads as green, while Acorn reads as yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 75 for Acorn vs 69 for Pistachio — means Acorn will open up a space more effectively. Where Pistachio leans green, Acorn reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 8.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
