Stem Green vs Lime Green
Where Stem Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Lime Green is a PPG color. Both sit in the green-yellow family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Stem Green (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Lime Green (LRV 48), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Stem Green vs Lime Green Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Stem Green on one side and Lime Green on the other.
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.
