Cloud Cover vs Glacier Blue

Cloud CoverBenjamin MoorevsGlacier BlueBenjamin MooreΔE 11.2 — Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cloud Cover belongs to the beige-greige family and Glacier Blue to the blue family. Cloud Cover (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Glacier Blue (LRV 70), a difference of 11 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloud Cover runs warm while Glacier Blue is decidedly blue, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 11.2, 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.
