Graceful Green vs Pigeon
Graceful Green (Dulux) and Pigeon (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Graceful Green belongs to the green-grey family and Pigeon to the grey family. The 19-point LRV gap — 70 for Graceful Green vs 51 for Pigeon — means Graceful Green will open up a space more effectively. Both share a neutral character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 12.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Graceful Green vs Pigeon in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Graceful Green and Pigeon in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Graceful Green reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Pigeon.
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. Graceful Green returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Graceful Green on one side and Pigeon 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.
