S 1500-N vs Lullaby
S 1500-N (NCS) and Lullaby (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. S 1500-N reads as greige-grey, while Lullaby reads as blue-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 64 vs 65 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where S 1500-N leans warm, Lullaby reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 5.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

S 1500-N vs Lullaby in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. S 1500-N and Lullaby 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. S 1500-N brings more warmth to the space, while Lullaby keeps things cooler and crisper.

S 1500-N vs Lullaby Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see S 1500-N on one side and Lullaby 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.
