Cumulus Cloud vs Seattle Mist

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. These are both greige-greys, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within greige-grey to land. Seattle Mist (LRV 55) reflects noticeably more light than Cumulus Cloud (LRV 52), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cumulus Cloud runs red while Seattle Mist is decidedly yellow, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 2.5, 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.
