Cloudy Gray vs Royal Flax
Cloudy Gray and Royal Flax come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the beige-greige family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 24-point LRV gap — 77 for Cloudy Gray vs 53 for Royal Flax — means Cloudy Gray will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 14.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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