Cloud Cover vs Flax

Cloud Cover and Flax come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Cloud Cover reads as beige-greige, while Flax reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 39-point LRV gap — 80 for Cloud Cover vs 42 for Flax — means Cloud Cover will open up a space more effectively. Where Cloud Cover leans yellow, Flax reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 22.6 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
