Truffle vs S 3005-Y20R
Where Truffle belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, S 3005-Y20R is a NCS color. Truffle reads as beige, while S 3005-Y20R reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Truffle (LRV 44) reflects noticeably more light than S 3005-Y20R (LRV 41), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Truffle runs red while S 3005-Y20R is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Truffle vs S 3005-Y20R in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Truffle and S 3005-Y20R 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
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Truffle gives the walls a little more lift.

Truffle vs S 3005-Y20R Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Truffle on one side and S 3005-Y20R on the other.
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.
