Sterling vs Tamarind
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Sterling belongs to the grey family and Tamarind to the beige-greige family. Sterling (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Tamarind (LRV 14), a difference of 48 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sterling runs green while Tamarind is decidedly red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 45.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
