LushBenjamin MoorevsEvergreen FogSherwin-WilliamsΔE 10.9Distinct difference

Where Lush belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Evergreen Fog is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Evergreen Fog (LRV 30) reflects noticeably more light than Lush (LRV 21), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Lush runs green while Evergreen Fog is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 10.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
