FloraBenjamin MoorevsSaybrook SageBenjamin MooreΔE 5.7Noticeable difference

Flora and Saybrook Sage come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Flora reads as green-grey, while Saybrook Sage reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 45 for Saybrook Sage vs 40 for Flora — means Saybrook Sage will open up a space more effectively. Both share a green character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 5.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Flora vs Saybrook Sage in Real Spaces

2 real rooms side by side. Flora and Saybrook Sage are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.

Dining Room

Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Saybrook Sage gives the walls a little more lift.

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