Lush vs White Wisp
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Lush belongs to the green-grey family and White Wisp to the white family. White Wisp (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Lush (LRV 21), a difference of 57 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 40.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Lush vs White Wisp in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Lush and White Wisp 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that White Wisp will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Lush would.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. White Wisp reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Lush.

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.
