The difference

Read from the numbers

Cedar Grove is the lighter of the two at LRV 46.34, 11 points above Herb Bouquet at LRV 35.37. Both belong to the green family. For a whole room, Cedar Grove is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Herb Bouquet is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Cedar Grove is a mid-light sage — green enough to be clearly a color from across the room, grey enough never to look minty. At LRV 46 it sits in the sweet spot for a full-room green: it holds its tone in daylight and softens rather than muddies as the light fades.

Herb Bouquet 460 is a mid-tone green from Benjamin Moore's Classics collection. The brand's description: "Moody sage undertones strike the right chord with this versatile green." Its LRV is 35.37, so it is a true mid-tone rather than a pale sage.
