King Arthur's CourtBenjamin MoorevsS 2005-Y40RNCSΔE 3.8Noticeable difference

King Arthur's Court (Benjamin Moore) and S 2005-Y40R (NCS) come from different manufacturers. King Arthur's Court reads as beige, while S 2005-Y40R reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 55 vs 53 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 3.8 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.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
