Cloud Cover vs November Rain
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Cloud Cover (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than November Rain (LRV 71), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean yellow, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Cloud Cover vs November Rain in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Cloud Cover and November Rain are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The LRV gap is large enough that Cloud Cover will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than November Rain would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Cloud Cover reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than November Rain.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cloud Cover on one side and November Rain on the other.
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.
