Mustard Olive vs Savannah Green

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Mustard Olive belongs to the beige family and Savannah Green to the beige-green family. Savannah Green (LRV 35) reflects noticeably more light than Mustard Olive (LRV 23), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Mustard Olive runs red while Savannah Green is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
