Eternity vs Silver Tipped Sage

Eternity is a Benjamin Moore color while Silver Tipped Sage comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 52 and 54, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Eternity's blue character against Silver Tipped Sage's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. With a ΔE of 1.6, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
