Grappa vs Sweet Basil

Grappa and Sweet Basil come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Grappa belongs to the grey family and Sweet Basil to the green-grey family. The 5-point LRV gap — 14 for Sweet Basil vs 9 for Grappa — means Sweet Basil will open up a space more effectively. Where Grappa leans purple, Sweet Basil reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 30.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
