About Benjamin Moore Rhythm and blues
Benjamin Moore Rhythm and blues is a mid-tone, clear, cool teal. At LRV 55 it reflects 55% of the light that hits it, so it has enough depth to read as a colour from across a room without closing it in. Its NCS code S 1030-B30G reads as 10% blackness and 30% chromaticness on a hue of blue with 30% toward green, which is the shade the trade tin is mixed to. Measured against that shade the original sits 3.11 dE away, a slight shift in tone against the original, worth checking with a tester; the trade mix reads noticeably darker and a touch warmer.

Benjamin Moore Rhythm and blues dupe: common questions
- Is Dulux Heritage a good match for Benjamin Moore Rhythm and blues?
- Yes. Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt Paint - Tinted Colour Match matches Benjamin Moore Rhythm and blues (NCS S 1030-B30G) at 96%, mixed to the same colour reference, so it reads the same on your wall.
- How much cheaper is the Benjamin Moore Rhythm and blues dupe?
- The trade match starts at £23.91, up to 40% less than buying Benjamin Moore Rhythm and blues direct.
- Is the trade dupe the same quality as Benjamin Moore Rhythm and blues?
- It is trade paint, mixed to the same colour reference. Trade paint carries more pigment than retail, so it covers in fewer coats and stands up to cleaning. You pay less because there is no designer name on the tin.
- How close is NCS S 1030-B30G to Benjamin Moore Rhythm and blues?
- Slight NCS shift: a slight shift in tone against the original, worth checking with a tester. We measure the colour against the NCS shade it is mixed to, and this one sits 3.11 dE apart (under 1 is invisible, 1 to 2 shows only side by side, over 3.5 is a different shade). The store tints every tin to that NCS code, so this is how close the paint itself will be before brand and finish come into it.
- What does a 96% match actually mean?
- The percentage is our overall grade for the trade product against Benjamin Moore Rhythm and blues. It combines three things: how close the NCS shade it is mixed to sits to the original, the tinting quality of the trade brand, and how the finish carries colour. Platinum is 98% and above, Gold 96%, Silver 94%, Bronze below that. It grades the product, not the colour on its own. The colour on its own is the NCS fit on this page: a measured distance to the shade in the tin, where under 1 dE is invisible, 1 to 2 shows only side by side, and above 3.5 is a shift you will notice. Whatever the score, put a tester on the wall before you order tins.
- How quickly can I get it?
- Next Day Paint tints your colour to order. Order before 3pm, Monday to Friday, and it ships for next working day delivery at £3.99. They email you tracking when it leaves.
- Can I try the colour before buying a full tin?
- Most trade finishes come in a tester pot, and the page shows the tester price beside the tin price. Put it on the wall and look at it in daylight and under your own lamps before you order litres, because a tinted tin cannot go back.
- Can I return it if I change my mind?
- Next Day Paint tints each tin to your colour after you order, so they cannot resell it and cannot take it back unless it arrives faulty. Put a sample pot on the wall before you commit to full tins.
Same colour, up to 40% less.
