Dry Sage vs Violet Sparkle
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Dry Sage reads as greige-grey, while Violet Sparkle reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Violet Sparkle (LRV 69) reflects noticeably more light than Dry Sage (LRV 35), a difference of 34 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dry Sage runs yellow while Violet Sparkle is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 28.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

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.
