Cloudy Sky vs Slate
Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Cloudy Sky reads as blue-grey, while Slate reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Slate (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Cloudy Sky (LRV 33), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean blue, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 5.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Cloudy Sky vs Slate Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cloudy Sky on one side and Slate 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.
