Spring Valley vs Washed Linen

Spring ValleyBenjamin MoorevsWashed LinenJotunΔE 9.4Noticeable difference

Spring Valley is a Benjamin Moore color while Washed Linen comes from Jotun. Spring Valley reads as green-yellow, while Washed Linen reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. With LRVs of 56 and 55, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Spring Valley's green character against Washed Linen's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 9.4, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
