PrincessBenjamin MoorevsPine NeedleDuluxΔE 53.1Very different colors

Princess is a Benjamin Moore color while Pine Needle comes from Dulux. Hue-wise, Princess belongs to the pink-red family and Pine Needle to the green family. At LRV 31 vs 7, Princess will read as the brighter of the two — a 24-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Princess's red character against Pine Needle's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 53.1, 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.
