Yorktowne Green vs Mountain Pine
Yorktowne Green (Benjamin Moore) and Mountain Pine (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Yorktowne Green reads as blue-green, while Mountain Pine reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 11 for Yorktowne Green vs 7 for Mountain Pine — means Yorktowne Green will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 6 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Yorktowne Green vs Mountain Pine in Real Spaces
6 real rooms side by side. Yorktowne Green and Mountain Pine are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Yorktowne Green reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Yorktowne Green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Yorktowne Green gives the walls a little more lift.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Yorktowne Green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Yorktowne Green has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Front Door
On a front door, the color is both the first and last thing you see — a context where even a modest tonal difference reads clearly. Yorktowne Green reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Yorktowne Green on one side and Mountain Pine on the other.
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.
