Blue Grass vs Cheerful

Blue Grass and Cheerful come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Blue Grass belongs to the blue-green family and Cheerful to the beige-yellow family. The 7-point LRV gap — 68 for Cheerful vs 60 for Blue Grass — means Cheerful will open up a space more effectively. Where Blue Grass leans cool, Cheerful reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 57.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
