Clay vs Cloud White
Clay and Cloud White come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Clay reads as beige-greige, while Cloud White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 57-point LRV gap — 85 for Cloud White vs 28 for Clay — means Cloud White will open up a space more effectively. Where Clay leans red, Cloud White reads yellow — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 37.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Clay vs Cloud White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Clay 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.
