Tea Light vs S 1502-Y
Where Tea Light belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, S 1502-Y is a NCS color. Tea Light reads as green-yellow, while S 1502-Y reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. S 1502-Y (LRV 64) reflects noticeably more light than Tea Light (LRV 60), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tea Light runs neutral while S 1502-Y is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
