Boxington vs Luau Green

BoxingtonLittle GreenevsLuau GreenSherwin-WilliamsΔE 9.5Noticeable difference

Where Boxington belongs to Little Greene's range, Luau Green is a Sherwin-Williams color. Boxington reads as beige-yellow, while Luau Green reads as beige-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Boxington (LRV 40) reflects noticeably more light than Luau Green (LRV 29), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Boxington runs yellow while Luau Green is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.

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