SequoiaBenjamin MoorevsPine NeedleDuluxΔE 31.6Very different colors

Sequoia is a Benjamin Moore color while Pine Needle comes from Dulux. Hue-wise, Sequoia belongs to the pink family and Pine Needle to the green family. At LRV 17 vs 7, Sequoia will read as the brighter of the two — a 10-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Sequoia's red character against Pine Needle's cool — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 31.6, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions.

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.
