Cloud Nine vs Wimborne White
Where Cloud Nine belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Wimborne White is a Farrow & Ball color. Cloud Nine reads as yellow, while Wimborne White reads as beige-white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Wimborne White (LRV 90) reflects noticeably more light than Cloud Nine (LRV 84), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloud Nine runs yellow while Wimborne White is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.6, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Cloud Nine vs Wimborne White in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Cloud Nine and Wimborne White are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Wimborne White gives the walls a little more lift.
Dining Room
A dining room lit by a dimmed pendant or candles is one of the most forgiving environments for paint — warm light softens almost everything. Wimborne White has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.
Bathroom
Bathrooms are one of the few spaces where you're genuinely enclosed by the paint color, which makes the choice between these two more consequential. Wimborne White reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. Wimborne White reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Cloud Nine vs Wimborne White Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cloud Nine on one side and Wimborne White on the other.
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.
