Dry Sage vs Evening Dove
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Dry Sage belongs to the greige-grey family and Evening Dove to the blue-grey family. Dry Sage (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Evening Dove (LRV 12), a difference of 23 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dry Sage runs yellow while Evening Dove is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 35.9, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
