Northampton Putty vs Sag Harbor Gray
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Sag Harbor Gray (LRV 42) reflects noticeably more light than Northampton Putty (LRV 33), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 8.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
