Subway Tile® vs S 3005-B20G
Where Subway Tile® belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, S 3005-B20G is a NCS color. These are both blue-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue-grey to land. Subway Tile® (LRV 43) reflects noticeably more light than S 3005-B20G (LRV 40), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
