Sterling vs Strawberry Sorbet
Sterling and Strawberry Sorbet come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Sterling reads as grey, while Strawberry Sorbet reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 7-point LRV gap — 62 for Sterling vs 55 for Strawberry Sorbet — means Sterling will open up a space more effectively. Where Sterling leans green, Strawberry Sorbet reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 27.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
