Cloud White vs Peony
Cloud White and Peony come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Cloud White reads as beige-white, while Peony reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 67-point LRV gap — 85 for Cloud White vs 19 for Peony — means Cloud White will open up a space more effectively. Where Cloud White leans yellow, Peony reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 73.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Cloud White vs Peony in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Cloud White and Peony in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Cloud White reflects noticeably more light off the walls, making the space read more open than Peony.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Cloud White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen Cabinets
Cabinet color is always seen in context — against countertops, backsplash, and hardware — which amplifies undertone differences that might disappear on a plain wall. Cloud White returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

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