Cloudy Gray vs S 0804-Y90R
Where Cloudy Gray belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, S 0804-Y90R is a NCS color. Hue-wise, Cloudy Gray belongs to the beige-greige family and S 0804-Y90R to the beige-pink family. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (77 vs 76), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Cloudy Gray runs red while S 0804-Y90R is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.3, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
