Lush vs Rookwood Blue Green
Where Lush belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Rookwood Blue Green is a Sherwin-Williams color. Hue-wise, Lush belongs to the green-grey family and Rookwood Blue Green to the blue-green family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (21 vs 22), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Lush runs green while Rookwood Blue Green is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.7, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Lush vs Rookwood Blue Green in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Lush and Rookwood Blue Green are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
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 two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.
Front Door
A front door is a focal point — small color differences read clearly at this concentrated scale. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.
Kitchen Cabinets

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Lush on one side and Rookwood Blue Green on the other.
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.
