Sterling vs Whisper
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Whisper (LRV 66) reflects noticeably more light than Sterling (LRV 62), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sterling runs green while Whisper is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.0, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.

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.
