Cat's Meow vs S 1005-Y60R
Cat's Meow (Benjamin Moore) and S 1005-Y60R (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Cat's Meow reads as pink-red, while S 1005-Y60R reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 68 vs 70 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 11.7 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
