Read from the numbersHerb Bouquet is the lighter of the two at LRV 35.37, 3.9 points above Creekside Green at LRV 31.43. Both belong to the green family. For a whole room, Herb Bouquet is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Creekside Green is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsHerb 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.
Creekside Green is a mid-dark grey with hazy green tones — Benjamin Moore's own description calls it 'moody' and 'enigmatic', and that is right. It is neither a clear green nor a flat grey but the colour of lichen on a shaded stone.
