In the Garden vs Silt
Where In the Garden belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Silt is a Little Greene color. In the Garden reads as green-grey, while Silt reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silt (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than In the Garden (LRV 18), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. In the Garden runs green while Silt is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
