Celestial Blue vs Sage Green
Both from Little Greene's palette. Hue-wise, Celestial Blue belongs to the blue-green family and Sage Green to the green-yellow family. Celestial Blue (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than Sage Green (LRV 20), a difference of 24 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean green, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 27.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

Living Room

Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Celestial Blue reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Sage Green.
