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.
