Benjamin Moore

Sterling

1591

Sterling is a light gray with cool undertones and an LRV of 62.33, reflecting a moderate-to-high amount of ambient light. Its hex value CED2CE shows nearly equal red, green, and blue channels with a faint green lean, which can become perceptible when placed against pure warm whites. The hue maintains a quiet, steady presence across varying sheen levels from flat to satin.

Benjamin Moore Breath of Fresh Air and Silver Mist offer soft analogous companions in the blue-cool range. Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy provide deeper contrast, while Chantilly Lace and Simply White work as clean trim options.
