Garlic Bulb vs Salt
Where Garlic Bulb belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Salt is a Farrow & Ball color. Hue-wise, Garlic Bulb belongs to the grey family and Salt to the greige-white family. Salt (LRV 78) reflects noticeably more light than Garlic Bulb (LRV 74), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Garlic Bulb runs neutral while Salt is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 0.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
