Sterling Forest
There is more to Benjamin Moore Sterling Forest (518) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. Its warm classification can bring a gentle glow to the color, particularly beside natural wood and softer whites. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
