Cedar Key vs S 1502-Y
Where Cedar Key belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, S 1502-Y is a NCS color. Cedar Key reads as beige-greige, while S 1502-Y reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. S 1502-Y (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Cedar Key (LRV 61), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
