Limestone vs S 1005-Y60R
Where Limestone belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, S 1005-Y60R is a NCS color. Limestone reads as beige-yellow, while S 1005-Y60R reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. S 1005-Y60R (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Limestone (LRV 66), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Limestone runs yellow while S 1005-Y60R is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 7.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
