Stone Harbor vs S 3000-N
Stone Harbor is a Benjamin Moore color while S 3000-N comes from NCS. These are both greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within grey to land. With LRVs of 43 and 44, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Stone Harbor's red character against S 3000-N's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 3.1, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Stone Harbor vs S 3000-N in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Stone Harbor and S 3000-N are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. At this scale, the choice between them becomes clear in a way that a swatch alone can't communicate.

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.
