Salisbury Green vs Tea Light
Salisbury Green and Tea Light come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Salisbury Green reads as green-grey, while Tea Light reads as green-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 14-point LRV gap — 60 for Tea Light vs 46 for Salisbury Green — means Tea Light will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 8.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Salisbury Green vs Tea Light in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Salisbury Green and Tea Light are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
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. Tea Light reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Salisbury Green.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Tea Light returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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.
