Muted Sage vs Peppergrass

Muted SageBehrvsPeppergrassBehrΔE 11.1Distinct difference

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 Peppergrass (LRV 17), a difference of 10 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 11.1, 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.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
