Cloud Nine vs Icicle

Cloud Nine and Icicle come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Cloud Nine belongs to the yellow family and Icicle to the beige-greige family. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 84 vs 82 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 0.7 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
