Sterling vs Tuft
Where Sterling belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Tuft is a Tikkurila color. Sterling reads as grey, while Tuft reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Tuft (LRV 65) reflects noticeably more light than Sterling (LRV 62), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.3, 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.
