Hemlock vs S 4010-B70G
Hemlock (Benjamin Moore) and S 4010-B70G (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Hemlock belongs to the blue family and S 4010-B70G to the blue-grey family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 29 vs 28 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Hemlock leans blue, S 4010-B70G reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Hemlock on one side and S 4010-B70G 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.
