Cloud Cover vs Seattle Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cloud Cover reads as beige-greige, while Seattle Mist reads as greige-grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cloud Cover (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Seattle Mist (LRV 55), a difference of 25 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. With a ΔE of 12.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
