Pale Olivine vs Kitchen Green

Pale OlivineDuluxvsKitchen GreenLittle GreeneΔE 7.6Noticeable difference

Where Pale Olivine belongs to Dulux's range, Kitchen Green is a Little Greene color. Pale Olivine reads as beige-greige, while Kitchen Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Pale Olivine (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Kitchen Green (LRV 57), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Pale Olivine runs warm while Kitchen Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
