Salamander vs Scree
Where Salamander belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Scree is a Little Greene color. Hue-wise, Salamander belongs to the blue-grey family and Scree to the grey family. Scree (LRV 10) reflects noticeably more light than Salamander (LRV 6), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Salamander runs blue while Scree is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.5, 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.
Salamander vs Scree in Real Spaces
5 real rooms side by side. Seeing Salamander and Scree 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Scree gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Scree reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Scree has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Scree reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Scree reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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