Luxe vs Sterling Forest

Luxe and Sterling Forest come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Luxe belongs to the blue-grey family and Sterling Forest to the beige-greige family. The 8-point LRV gap — 22 for Luxe vs 14 for Sterling Forest — means Luxe will open up a space more effectively. Where Luxe leans blue, Sterling Forest reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 29.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
