Saybrook Sage vs Soft White
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Saybrook Sage reads as grey, while Soft White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Soft White (LRV 83) reflects noticeably more light than Saybrook Sage (LRV 45), a difference of 38 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Saybrook Sage runs green while Soft White is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 23.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
