Orange Ice vs S 3030-Y30R
Orange Ice (Benjamin Moore) and S 3030-Y30R (NCS) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 20-point LRV gap — 53 for Orange Ice vs 33 for S 3030-Y30R — means Orange Ice will open up a space more effectively. Where Orange Ice leans red, S 3030-Y30R reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 17.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Orange Ice on one side and S 3030-Y30R on the other.
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.
