Steel ParadeDuluxvsJubileeSherwin-WilliamsΔE 2.1Subtle difference

They have nearly identical light reflectance values (47 vs 45), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Steel Parade runs cool while Jubilee is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources.
