Wasabi vs S 3030-Y30R
Wasabi (Benjamin Moore) and S 3030-Y30R (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Wasabi belongs to the beige-yellow family and S 3030-Y30R to the beige family. The 5-point LRV gap — 37 for Wasabi vs 33 for S 3030-Y30R — means Wasabi will open up a space more effectively. Where Wasabi leans yellow, S 3030-Y30R reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 22.5 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.
