What color is Behr Nimbus Cloud?
Behr Nimbus Cloud PR-W09 is a light, muted gray with a soft blue cast that keeps it from reading flat or stark. It has the look of an overcast morning sky—pale and airy, but with enough coolness to give walls gentle definition. In bright daylight, Nimbus Cloud can appear nearly silvery, while north-facing rooms may pull out more of its blue-gray undertone. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass. For more contrast, pair it with navy textiles, dark green accents, or walnut furniture to ground its light, clouded appearance.

LRV of Nimbus Cloud
Nimbus Cloud has an LRV of 79.75% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 79.75%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
