Cloudy Gray vs Reflection
Cloudy Gray (Benjamin Moore) and Reflection (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 81 for Reflection vs 77 for Cloudy Gray — means Reflection will open up a space more effectively. Where Cloudy Gray leans red, Reflection reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 2.3 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. 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 Reflection Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cloudy Gray on one side and Reflection 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.
