Dune Grass vs S 1502-Y
Dune Grass (Benjamin Moore) and S 1502-Y (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Dune Grass reads as beige-greige, while S 1502-Y reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 67 vs 64 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Dune Grass leans yellow, S 1502-Y reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 8.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Dune Grass vs S 1502-Y in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Dune Grass and S 1502-Y are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

Dune Grass vs S 1502-Y Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Dune Grass on one side and S 1502-Y on the other.
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.
