Turkish Tower vs S 1500-N
Turkish Tower (Cloverdale Paint) and S 1500-N (NCS) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the greige-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 5-point LRV gap — 69 for Turkish Tower vs 64 for S 1500-N — means Turkish Tower 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.

Turkish Tower vs S 1500-N in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Turkish Tower and S 1500-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. Turkish Tower reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The brightness difference is modest but present — Turkish Tower gives the walls a little more lift.
