Spearmint Ice vs S 1002-Y20R
Spearmint Ice (Benjamin Moore) and S 1002-Y20R (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Spearmint Ice belongs to the green family and S 1002-Y20R to the beige-greige family. The 4-point LRV gap — 82 for S 1002-Y20R vs 78 for Spearmint Ice — means S 1002-Y20R will open up a space more effectively. Where Spearmint Ice leans green, S 1002-Y20R reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 10.0 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.
