Raintree Green vs Vintage Vogue

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Raintree Green (LRV 32) reflects noticeably more light than Vintage Vogue (LRV 12), a difference of 21 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Raintree Green runs yellow while Vintage Vogue is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 25.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
