Gem Silica vs S 3010-B90G
Gem Silica (Behr) and S 3010-B90G (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Gem Silica belongs to the green family and S 3010-B90G to the green-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 39 vs 40 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Gem Silica leans green, S 3010-B90G reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 25.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Gem Silica on one side and S 3010-B90G on the other.
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.
