Antique Pearl vs Polar Sky
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Antique Pearl reads as grey, while Polar Sky reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Antique Pearl (LRV 72) reflects noticeably more light than Polar Sky (LRV 69), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Antique Pearl runs red while Polar Sky is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Antique Pearl vs Polar Sky in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Antique Pearl and Polar Sky are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Antique Pearl reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

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.
