Potters Clay vs S 3030-Y30R
Where Potters Clay belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, S 3030-Y30R is a NCS color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. S 3030-Y30R (LRV 33) reflects noticeably more light than Potters Clay (LRV 28), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
