Soft Cloud vs Cumulus Cotton

Soft CloudBehrvsCumulus CottonBenjamin MooreΔE 1.8Subtle difference

Where Soft Cloud belongs to Behr's range, Cumulus Cotton is a Benjamin Moore color. These are both blues, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within blue to land. Cumulus Cotton (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Soft Cloud (LRV 73), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
