Grappa vs Sterling

Grappa and Sterling come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 54-point LRV gap — 62 for Sterling vs 9 for Grappa — means Sterling will open up a space more effectively. Where Grappa leans purple, Sterling reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 54.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
