Turtle GreenBenjamin MoorevsDenim DriftDuluxΔE 27.2Very different colors

Turtle Green (Benjamin Moore) and Denim Drift (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Turtle Green reads as beige-green, while Denim Drift reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 14-point LRV gap — 27 for Denim Drift vs 13 for Turtle Green — means Denim Drift will open up a space more effectively. Where Turtle Green leans yellow, Denim Drift reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

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