Sea Smoke vs S 1502-Y
Where Sea Smoke belongs to Tikkurila's range, S 1502-Y is a NCS color. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (63 vs 64), so they'll read as similarly light in most lighting conditions.

Sea Smoke vs S 1502-Y Color Comparison
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.

Sea Smoke vs S 1502-Y in Real Spaces
Sea Smoke and S 1502-Y are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone. These real-room photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions. Showing 2 room types where both colors have photos.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The two are close enough that the choice comes down to finer qualities — undertone, texture, what the color sits next to.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.
