Arctic Cotton vs Cloud
Arctic Cotton (PPG) and Cloud (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Arctic Cotton reads as greige-white, while Cloud reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 77 vs 78 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. A ΔE of 0.8 puts them in subtle territory — distinguishable in direct comparison, less so from across a room. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Arctic Cotton vs Cloud in Real Spaces
1 real room side by side. Arctic Cotton and Cloud 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.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. In photos like these you're seeing the difference at its most direct. In a finished room, the distinction is there but not dramatic.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Arctic Cotton on one side and Cloud 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.
