Churlish Green is a Farrow & Ball color while Apple comes from Little Greene. Churlish Green reads as beige-green, while Apple reads as beige-yellow — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 55 vs 51, Apple will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Churlish Green's warm character against Apple's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 5.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

Churlish Green vs Apple in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Churlish Green and Apple 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Apple has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The brightness difference is modest but present — Apple gives the walls a little more lift.
Dining Room
Dining room light is typically the warmest in the house, which shifts both colors toward the red end of the spectrum compared to daylight. Apple reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
