Cloud Nine vs Iced Lavender

Cloud Nine and Iced Lavender come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Cloud Nine belongs to the yellow family and Iced Lavender to the blue-grey family. The 19-point LRV gap — 84 for Cloud Nine vs 65 for Iced Lavender — means Cloud Nine will open up a space more effectively. Where Cloud Nine leans yellow, Iced Lavender reads blue and purple — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 14.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
