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