Egyptian Green is a Benjamin Moore color while Washed Linen comes from Jotun. Hue-wise, Egyptian Green belongs to the blue-green family and Washed Linen to the beige-greige family. At LRV 55 vs 44, Washed Linen will read as the brighter of the two — a 11-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Egyptian Green's green and blue character against Washed Linen's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
