Moonstone vs S 1000-N
Moonstone (Cloverdale Paint) and S 1000-N (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Moonstone belongs to the green-grey family and S 1000-N to the grey family. The 3-point LRV gap — 74 for S 1000-N vs 71 for Moonstone — means S 1000-N will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 2.6 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Moonstone vs S 1000-N in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Moonstone and S 1000-N 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 1000-N reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Moonstone vs S 1000-N Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Moonstone on one side and S 1000-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.
