Lush vs Splendor

LushBenjamin MoorevsSplendorBenjamin MooreΔE 30.3 — Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Lush reads as green-grey, while Splendor reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Splendor (LRV 50) reflects noticeably more light than Lush (LRV 21), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lush runs green while Splendor is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 30.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
