Montezuma vs Green Stone
Where Montezuma belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Green Stone is a Little Greene color. Montezuma reads as beige-greige, while Green Stone reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (63 vs 61), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Montezuma vs Green Stone in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Montezuma and Green Stone 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

Montezuma vs Green Stone Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Montezuma on one side and Green Stone 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.
