Valley View vs Pine Needle
Where Valley View belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pine Needle is a Dulux color. Valley View reads as beige-yellow, while Pine Needle reads as green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Valley View (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Pine Needle (LRV 7), a difference of 59 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Valley View runs yellow while Pine Needle is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 66.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
