Mexican Tile vs Saybrook Sage
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Mexican Tile belongs to the beige-pink family and Saybrook Sage to the grey family. Saybrook Sage (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Mexican Tile (LRV 30), a difference of 15 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mexican Tile runs red while Saybrook Sage is decidedly green, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 29.5, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
