Byzantine vs Cloud White

Byzantine and Cloud White come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Byzantine reads as beige, 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 Byzantine — means Cloud White will open up a space more effectively. Where Byzantine leans red, Cloud White reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 55.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
