Barnwood vs Sage Slate
Where Barnwood belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Sage Slate is a Valspar color. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. Barnwood (LRV 22) reflects noticeably more light than Sage Slate (LRV 19), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
