Sublime vs S 1002-Y20R
Sublime is a Cloverdale Paint color while S 1002-Y20R comes from NCS. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. With LRVs of 84 and 82, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. With a ΔE of 1.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
