Cloud Cover vs Franklin Lakes

Cloud Cover and Franklin Lakes come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Cloud Cover reads as beige-greige, while Franklin Lakes reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 46-point LRV gap — 80 for Cloud Cover vs 34 for Franklin Lakes — means Cloud Cover will open up a space more effectively. Where Cloud Cover leans warm, Franklin Lakes reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 31.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
