Clear Sailing vs Cloud White

Clear SailingBenjamin MoorevsCloud WhiteBenjamin MooreΔE 34.0 — Very different colors

Clear Sailing and Cloud White come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Clear Sailing belongs to the blue family and Cloud White to the beige-white family. The 40-point LRV gap — 85 for Cloud White vs 45 for Clear Sailing — means Cloud White will open up a space more effectively. Where Clear Sailing leans cool, Cloud White reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 34.0 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.

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.
