Sterling reads as a fresh very light, nearly pure gray, shaped by its very balanced undertones. With an LRV of 83, it maximizes light reflection, making it ideal for ceilings, trim, or whole-room whites. For a cross-brand equivalent, Sherwin-Williams's Reflection is a near-identical match. PPG's Elemental runs close as well. It pairs beautifully with warm wood tones to offset its coolness, or with silver and chrome for a polished look.
