Salamander vs Yorktowne Green
Salamander and Yorktowne Green come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Salamander belongs to the blue-grey family and Yorktowne Green to the blue-green family. The 5-point LRV gap — 11 for Yorktowne Green vs 6 for Salamander — means Yorktowne Green will open up a space more effectively. Both share a blue character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 12.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 5 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Salamander vs Yorktowne Green in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Salamander and Yorktowne Green in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Yorktowne Green reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Yorktowne Green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Yorktowne Green gives the walls a little more lift.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Yorktowne Green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Yorktowne Green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Salamander vs Yorktowne Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Salamander on one side and Yorktowne Green on the other.
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.
