Clary Sage vs Plymouth Green
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Clary Sage belongs to the greige-grey family and Plymouth Green to the green-yellow family. Plymouth Green (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Clary Sage (LRV 41), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 6.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
