Where Stonecutter belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Duck Green is a Farrow & Ball color. Stonecutter reads as blue-grey, while Duck Green reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (8 vs 8), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Stonecutter runs blue while Duck Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
