RaphaelBenjamin MoorevsSaybrook SageBenjamin MooreΔE 50.3Very different colors

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Raphael belongs to the pink family and Saybrook Sage to the grey family. Saybrook Sage (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Raphael (LRV 7), a difference of 39 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Raphael 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 50.3, the contrast is hard to miss.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
