Aplomb vs Cloud White
Aplomb and Cloud White come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Aplomb reads as grey, while Cloud White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 64-point LRV gap — 85 for Cloud White vs 21 for Aplomb — means Cloud White will open up a space more effectively. Where Aplomb leans red, Cloud White reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 47.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Aplomb on one side and Cloud White 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.
