Navy Bean vs S 1002-Y
Navy Bean is a Cloverdale Paint color while S 1002-Y comes from NCS. Navy Bean reads as greige-white, while S 1002-Y reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. At LRV 76 vs 72, Navy Bean will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. With a ΔE of 2.4, the difference is subtle — you'd need them side by side to reliably tell them apart. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Navy Bean vs S 1002-Y in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Navy Bean and S 1002-Y 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
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Navy Bean has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Kitchen
Kitchen lighting tends to be bright and directional, which sharpens contrast and makes undertone differences more apparent. The brightness difference is modest but present — Navy Bean gives the walls a little more lift.

Navy Bean vs S 1002-Y Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Navy Bean on one side and S 1002-Y 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.
