Cloud Cover vs RAL 120-3
Where Cloud Cover belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, RAL 120-3 is a RAL Effect color. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. RAL 120-3 (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Cloud Cover (LRV 80), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
