Old GloryBenjamin MoorevsS 5010-R90BNCSΔE 25.1Very different colors

Old Glory (Benjamin Moore) and S 5010-R90B (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Old Glory belongs to the blue family and S 5010-R90B to the blue-grey family. The 3-point LRV gap — 19 for S 5010-R90B vs 16 for Old Glory — means S 5010-R90B will open up a space more effectively. Where Old Glory leans blue, S 5010-R90B reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 25.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
