Cloudy Gray vs Down
Cloudy Gray (Benjamin Moore) and Down (Little Greene) come from different manufacturers. Cloudy Gray reads as beige-greige, while Down reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 80 for Down vs 77 for Cloudy Gray — means Down 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 1.9 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 Down Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cloudy Gray on one side and Down 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.
