Pleasant GroveBenjamin MoorevsSparrowBenjamin MooreΔE 42.9 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Pleasant Grove reads as green, while Sparrow reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pleasant Grove (LRV 31) reflects noticeably more light than Sparrow (LRV 21), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pleasant Grove runs green while Sparrow is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 42.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
