Pumpkin Pie vs S 3030-Y30R
Pumpkin Pie (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 6-point LRV gap — 33 for S 3030-Y30R vs 26 for Pumpkin Pie — means S 3030-Y30R will open up a space more effectively. Where Pumpkin Pie leans red, S 3030-Y30R reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.
