Dellwood Sand vs S 3005-Y20R
Where Dellwood Sand belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, S 3005-Y20R is a NCS color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. S 3005-Y20R (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Dellwood Sand (LRV 36), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dellwood Sand runs red while S 3005-Y20R is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 5.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
