Colony Green vs Sage Tint

Colony GreenBenjamin MoorevsSage TintBenjamin MooreΔE 4.5Noticeable difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Colony Green reads as green, while Sage Tint reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Colony Green (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Sage Tint (LRV 58), a difference of 8 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. 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.
