Lichen Green vs Millington Gold
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Lichen Green reads as beige-green, while Millington Gold reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Millington Gold (LRV 34) reflects noticeably more light than Lichen Green (LRV 27), a difference of 7 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lichen Green runs yellow while Millington Gold is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
