Lafayette GreenBenjamin MoorevsS 6010-G10YNCSΔE 5.5Noticeable difference

Lafayette Green (Benjamin Moore) and S 6010-G10Y (NCS) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 14 for S 6010-G10Y vs 11 for Lafayette Green — means S 6010-G10Y will open up a space more effectively. Where Lafayette Green leans green, S 6010-G10Y 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.

Digital color is approximate.

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