Verdigris vs White Dove
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Verdigris reads as blue-green, while White Dove reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. White Dove (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Verdigris (LRV 17), a difference of 66 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Verdigris runs green while White Dove is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 49.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
