Lockhart vs S 3000-N
Lockhart (Cloverdale Paint) and S 3000-N (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Lockhart reads as pink, while S 3000-N reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 6-point LRV gap — 44 for S 3000-N vs 38 for Lockhart — means S 3000-N will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 13.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Lockhart vs S 3000-N in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Seeing Lockhart and S 3000-N in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
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 3000-N reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. S 3000-N 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 Lockhart on one side and S 3000-N 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.
