Where S 4010-B70G belongs to NCS's range, Moody Blue is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the blue-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (28 vs 26), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
S 4010-B70G vs Moody Blue in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. S 4010-B70G and Moody Blue 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
