Cloudy Gray vs Shadow Gray

Cloudy Gray and Shadow Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Cloudy Gray belongs to the beige-greige family and Shadow Gray to the blue-grey family. The 38-point LRV gap — 77 for Cloudy Gray vs 40 for Shadow Gray — means Cloudy Gray will open up a space more effectively. Where Cloudy Gray leans red, Shadow Gray reads blue — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 23.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
