Lido Green vs Pigeon
Where Lido Green belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pigeon is a Farrow & Ball color. Lido Green reads as green, while Pigeon reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Lido Green (LRV 76) reflects noticeably more light than Pigeon (LRV 51), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lido Green runs green while Pigeon is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 26.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
