Damask YellowBenjamin MoorevsS 3030-Y30RNCSΔE 25.7Very different colors

Damask Yellow (Benjamin Moore) and S 3030-Y30R (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Damask Yellow reads as beige-yellow, while S 3030-Y30R reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 28-point LRV gap — 61 for Damask Yellow vs 33 for S 3030-Y30R — means Damask Yellow will open up a space more effectively. Where Damask Yellow leans yellow and red, S 3030-Y30R reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

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.
