Coastal GreyDuluxvsS 2005-G10YNCSΔE 7.5Noticeable difference

Coastal Grey is a Dulux color while S 2005-G10Y comes from NCS. Coastal Grey reads as blue-grey, while S 2005-G10Y reads as green-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 56 vs 53, Coastal Grey will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Coastal Grey's cool character against S 2005-G10Y's neutral — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 7.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
