Mild vs Sagey
Mild (Jotun) and Sagey (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Mild belongs to the beige family and Sagey to the beige-greige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 74 vs 75 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Mild leans warm, Sagey reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
