What color is Benjamin Moore Cloud Cover?
Benjamin Moore Cloud Cover OC-25 is a pale, softly muted off-white with a subtle warm cast visible in its #E9E8E0 color value. Its slight beige-yellow undertone keeps it from reading as a stark, icy white, while the high lightness makes rooms feel open and bright. In cool daylight, Cloud Cover can appear cleaner and more neutral; under warmer bulbs, its creamy edge becomes more noticeable. It is well suited to main walls, ceilings, and trim in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a low-contrast backdrop is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen, warm gray stone, matte black hardware, or deeper olive and charcoal accents for definition.

What are Benjamin Moore Cloud Cover undertones?
Cloud Cover OC-25 reads as a very light, low-saturation off-white with an almost neutral overall character. In the supplied digital sample, any yellow-leaning bias is extremely subtle, so it is better viewed as a near-neutral white than as clearly warm or creamy. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a go-to white subtly shaded with a touch of gray,” which fits its soft, slightly muted appearance within the white family. Warm artificial light may make its faint yellow bias more noticeable, while cool daylight can make it appear cleaner and a little grayer.

Colors that go with Benjamin Moore Cloud Cover:
Monochromatic color scheme
This scheme consists of various shades, tints, and tones of a single color. While it offers a perfect combination of hues, without accent décor it may become monotonous.
Darker shades
Complementary color scheme
This color scheme is a combination of two shades that are opposite each other on the color wheel. The high contrast between these colors creates a vibrant and dynamic visual effect. For the color Cloud Cover with a orange hue, complementary colors are those with a blue hue close to 233, such as Benjamin Moore Approaching Storm and Evening Dove.
LRV of Cloud Cover
Cloud Cover has an LRV of 80.28% 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 80.28%, 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.
