Fanfare vs S 1000-N
Fanfare (Benjamin Moore) and S 1000-N (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Fanfare reads as blue-white, while S 1000-N reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 4-point LRV gap — 78 for Fanfare vs 74 for S 1000-N — means Fanfare will open up a space more effectively. Where Fanfare leans green and blue, S 1000-N reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 3.0 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a 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.
