Spring Mint vs Skimming Stone
Spring Mint (Benjamin Moore) and Skimming Stone (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Spring Mint belongs to the blue-green family and Skimming Stone to the beige-greige family. The 12-point LRV gap — 80 for Spring Mint vs 68 for Skimming Stone — means Spring Mint will open up a space more effectively. Where Spring Mint leans green, Skimming Stone reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 12.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
