S 2005-G10Y vs Piedmont
Where S 2005-G10Y belongs to NCS's range, Piedmont is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both green-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within green-grey to land. Piedmont (LRV 60) reflects noticeably more light than S 2005-G10Y (LRV 53), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. S 2005-G10Y runs neutral while Piedmont is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
