Saybrook Sage runs green while Light Blue is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Saybrook Sage vs Light Blue in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Saybrook Sage and Light Blue are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Light Blue gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Light Blue reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
