Sterling Forest vs Antique White
Where Sterling Forest belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Antique White is a Jotun color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Antique White (LRV 56) reflects noticeably more light than Sterling Forest (LRV 14), a difference of 42 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Sterling Forest runs yellow while Antique White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 36.6, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
