Night Train vs S 4500-N
Night Train is a Benjamin Moore color while S 4500-N comes from NCS. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. At LRV 27 vs 23, S 4500-N will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Night Train's green character against S 4500-N's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 6.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.

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.
