Stokes Forest Green vs Garden Mint

Stokes Forest GreenBenjamin MoorevsGarden MintPPGΔE 6.1Noticeable difference

Where Stokes Forest Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Garden Mint is a PPG color. These are both greens, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (36 vs 35), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 6.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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