Cloud Nine vs Refined

Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Cloud Nine belongs to the yellow family and Refined to the beige-greige family. At LRV 84 vs 72, Cloud Nine will read as the brighter of the two — a 12-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a yellow quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 7.2, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
