Muted Sage vs Night Mission

Both from Behr's palette. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Muted Sage (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Night Mission (LRV 11), a difference of 17 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 20.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
