Forest GreenCloverdale PaintvsWoodland Fern 1DuluxΔE 4.1Noticeable difference

Forest Green (Cloverdale Paint) and Woodland Fern 1 (Dulux) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the green family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 9 vs 8 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. ΔE 4.1 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

Forest Green vs Woodland Fern 1 in Real Spaces

3 real rooms side by side. Forest Green and Woodland Fern 1 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. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

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. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
