SafariBenjamin MoorevsPine NeedleDuluxΔE 62.8Very different colors

Safari is a Benjamin Moore color while Pine Needle comes from Dulux. Safari reads as beige, while Pine Needle reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 64 vs 7, Safari will read as the brighter of the two — a 57-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Safari's red character against Pine Needle's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 62.8, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
