Black SapphireBehrvsWeathered MossBehrΔE 12.2 — Distinct difference

Both from Behr's palette. Black Sapphire reads as blue-grey, while Weathered Moss reads as grey-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Weathered Moss (LRV 49) reflects noticeably more light than Black Sapphire (LRV 7), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Black Sapphire runs blue while Weathered Moss is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 12.2, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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. 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.
