Cascade vs S 3010-R80B
Cascade (Benjamin Moore) and S 3010-R80B (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Cascade belongs to the blue family and S 3010-R80B to the blue-grey family. The 7-point LRV gap — 43 for Cascade vs 36 for S 3010-R80B — means Cascade will open up a space more effectively. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 18.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Cascade vs S 3010-R80B Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cascade on one side and S 3010-R80B 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.
