Cotton BreezeDuluxvsS 0515-R80BNCSΔE 5.0Noticeable difference

Cotton Breeze is a Dulux color while S 0515-R80B comes from NCS. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. At LRV 87 vs 71, Cotton Breeze will read as the brighter of the two — a 17-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a cool quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 5.0, 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. 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.
