Sage vs Silver Gray

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Sage reads as beige-greige, while Silver Gray reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Silver Gray (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Sage (LRV 42), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
