Herb Bouquet vs Lush
Herb Bouquet 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 14-point LRV gap — 35 for Herb Bouquet vs 21 for Lush — means Herb Bouquet 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. A ΔE of 13.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Herb Bouquet vs Lush in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Herb Bouquet and Lush in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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. Herb Bouquet reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Lush.
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. Herb Bouquet returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
