Lush vs Refined

Lush and Refined come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Lush reads as green-grey, while Refined reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 51-point LRV gap — 72 for Refined vs 21 for Lush — means Refined will open up a space more effectively. Where Lush leans green, Refined reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 36.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
