Athabasca vs Cloud Cover
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Athabasca reads as blue, while Cloud Cover reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cloud Cover (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Athabasca (LRV 51), a difference of 29 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Athabasca runs cool while Cloud Cover is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 18.3, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. 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.
