Seedling vs Freshwater Green
Where Seedling belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Freshwater Green is a Valspar color. Hue-wise, Seedling belongs to the green family and Freshwater Green to the green-yellow family. Freshwater Green (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Seedling (LRV 42), a difference of 14 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 8.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
