Dried Parsley vs Saybrook Sage

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Dried Parsley reads as beige-greige, while Saybrook Sage reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Dried Parsley (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Saybrook Sage (LRV 45), a difference of 10 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dried Parsley runs yellow while Saybrook Sage is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. 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.
