Cloud White vs Gray Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Hue-wise, Cloud White belongs to the beige-white family and Gray Mist to the beige-greige family. Cloud White (LRV 85) reflects noticeably more light than Gray Mist (LRV 73), a difference of 12 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cloud White runs warm while Gray Mist is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
