Saybrook Sage vs Thyme
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Saybrook Sage reads as grey, while Thyme reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Saybrook Sage (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Thyme (LRV 25), a difference of 20 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Saybrook Sage runs green while Thyme is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 27.8, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
