Citadel vs S 3010-R80B
Citadel (Benjamin Moore) and S 3010-R80B (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Citadel reads as blue, while S 3010-R80B reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 38 for Citadel vs 36 for S 3010-R80B — means Citadel 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. ΔE 7.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
