Soft FernBenjamin MoorevsVine GreenBenjamin MooreΔE 49.9Very different colors

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Soft Fern belongs to the beige-greige family and Vine Green to the green family. At LRV 57 vs 16, Soft Fern will read as the brighter of the two — a 40-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Soft Fern's yellow character against Vine Green's green — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 49.9, 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.
