Benjamin Moore

Lush

AF-475

Lush is a muted, earthy green with an LRV of 21.09, placing it in the lower-mid range of light reflectance. Blue undertones are evident beneath the surface, cooling the hue and lending it a slightly smoky, gray-green quality that keeps it from reading as a straightforward botanical green. In lower light, the blue shift becomes more pronounced.

White Dove OC-17 and Simply White OC-117 brighten the palette when used on trim or ceilings. Hale Navy HC-154 and New London Burgundy HC-61 provide deep, contrasting accents that reinforce its grounded, subdued character.

Lush in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
