Cloudy Gray vs Featherstone
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Cloudy Gray (LRV 77) reflects noticeably more light than Featherstone (LRV 69), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Cloudy Gray vs Featherstone Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cloudy Gray on one side and Featherstone 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.
