Cushing Green vs Lush
Cushing Green and Lush come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 21 for Lush vs 18 for Cushing Green — means Lush will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 4.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Cushing Green vs Lush in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Cushing Green and Lush 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Lush reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Front Door
On a front door, the color is both the first and last thing you see — a context where even a modest tonal difference reads clearly. Lush reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Lush has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Cushing Green vs Lush Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cushing Green on one side and Lush on the other.
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.
