Eugenia vs S 0502-Y
Eugenia (Cloverdale Paint) and S 0502-Y (NCS) come from different manufacturers. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. The 7-point LRV gap — 87 for S 0502-Y vs 80 for Eugenia — means S 0502-Y will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 5.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Eugenia vs S 0502-Y in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Eugenia and S 0502-Y 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
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. S 0502-Y reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. S 0502-Y has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Eugenia on one side and S 0502-Y 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.
