What 45.46 tells you about Saybrook Sage
The published LRV of Benjamin Moore Saybrook Sage HC-114 is 45.46. It describes light reflectance; it does not specify an undertone or predict the brightness of your room. Saybrook Sage brings an aloe-green identity tempered by gray, so it can supply color without the clear brightness of mint.
The choice beside antique pine and cream linen
Antique pine is a strong warm neighbor; neutral linen keeps the palette from adding another competing color temperature.
Compare Saybrook Sage and October Mist at equal size, first considering depth and then hue. A lighter blue, green or pink is still a colored surface. Use the LRV to organize the depth question without assuming that it measures saturation or predicts which hue the room will favor.
What the comparison can—and cannot—settle
Saybrook Sage has an LRV of 45.46; Benjamin Moore October Mist 1495 is 46.54. The difference is 1.08 points, with October Mist returning more light under the reference measurement. Saybrook Sage is an aloe-like green softened by gray. The value measures reflectance, so it cannot by itself identify an undertone, a coating finish or the amount of illumination needed in the room. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice.
Keep enough quiet fabric in the palette to let the green remain the principal color. Do not read LRV 45.46 as a percentage improvement in perceived room brightness. Make the decision with the board upright at the actual wall or cabinet position, including the least illuminated portion. The north-facing room assessment covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
