Pearl vs Mineral Deposit
Where Pearl belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Mineral Deposit is a Sherwin-Williams color. Pearl reads as green-grey, while Mineral Deposit reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (43 vs 43), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Pearl runs green while Mineral Deposit is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. 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. 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.
