WhirlwindCloverdale PaintvsS 2005-G10YNCSΔE 2.8Subtle difference

Whirlwind is a Cloverdale Paint color while S 2005-G10Y comes from NCS. Whirlwind reads as blue-green, while S 2005-G10Y reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins.

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.
