Imagine vs S 2005-G10Y
Imagine (Jotun) and S 2005-G10Y (NCS) come from different manufacturers. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 53 for S 2005-G10Y vs 49 for Imagine — means S 2005-G10Y will open up a space more effectively. Where Imagine leans cool, S 2005-G10Y reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 4.8 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.
Imagine vs S 2005-G10Y in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Imagine and S 2005-G10Y 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.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. S 2005-G10Y has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

Imagine vs S 2005-G10Y Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Imagine on one side and S 2005-G10Y 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.
