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.
