Quartz Stone vs Duck Green
Where Quartz Stone belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Duck Green is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Quartz Stone belongs to the green family and Duck Green to the green-grey family. Quartz Stone (LRV 75) reflects noticeably more light than Duck Green (LRV 8), a difference of 67 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Quartz Stone runs green while Duck Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 55.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
