Sycamore vs S 4010-Y50R
Sycamore (Cloverdale Paint) and S 4010-Y50R (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Sycamore reads as greige-grey, while S 4010-Y50R reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 30 for S 4010-Y50R vs 20 for Sycamore — means S 4010-Y50R will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 9.7 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Sycamore vs S 4010-Y50R in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Sycamore and S 4010-Y50R 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 4010-Y50R reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Sycamore.

Sycamore vs S 4010-Y50R Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Sycamore on one side and S 4010-Y50R 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.
