Cumulus Cloud vs Slaked Lime Deep
Where Cumulus Cloud belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Slaked Lime Deep is a Little Greene color. Cumulus Cloud reads as greige-grey, while Slaked Lime Deep reads as beige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Cumulus Cloud has an LRV of 52. Both lean red, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 3 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Cumulus Cloud vs Slaked Lime Deep in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Cumulus Cloud and Slaked Lime Deep are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. Side by side like this, the difference is easy to read — which is exactly why seeing them in a real space is more useful than comparing chips.
Kitchen
In a kitchen, colors are seen under bright task lighting that amplifies undertones — what reads neutral elsewhere can show its hand here. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.
Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets are constantly compared against adjacent materials, which means subtle differences between these two become much more visible. The distinction reads clearly at room scale, making the choice between them concrete.

Cumulus Cloud vs Slaked Lime Deep Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Cumulus Cloud on one side and Slaked Lime Deep 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.
