Cloud Nine vs Spring Bud
Cloud Nine and Spring Bud come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Cloud Nine reads as yellow, while Spring Bud reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 10-point LRV gap — 84 for Cloud Nine vs 74 for Spring Bud — means Cloud Nine will open up a space more effectively. Both share a yellow character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 8.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
