Zen vs S 3010-B90G
Where Zen belongs to Behr's range, S 3010-B90G is a NCS color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Zen (LRV 46) reflects noticeably more light than S 3010-B90G (LRV 40), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Zen runs green while S 3010-B90G is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
