Spruce GreenBenjamin MoorevsFlowering CactusPPGΔE 3.3Noticeable difference

Spruce Green is a Benjamin Moore color while Flowering Cactus comes from PPG. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. At LRV 58 vs 54, Flowering Cactus will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 3.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Digital color is approximate.

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