Lush vs Paper
Lush (Benjamin Moore) and Paper (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Lush reads as green-grey, while Paper reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 67-point LRV gap — 88 for Paper vs 21 for Lush — means Paper will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 44.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Paper reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Lush.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Lush on one side and Paper 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.
