What color is Benjamin Moore Cumulus Cotton?
Benjamin Moore Cumulus Cotton 2063-70 is a very light, cool blue with a clean, softly misted appearance. Its pale blue cast is noticeable without becoming sugary or overly decorative, making it a useful alternative to plain white in rooms that need more color. In bright daylight, Cumulus Cotton can read crisp and airy, while lower or warmer evening light may soften it toward a muted blue-gray. It suits bedroom walls, bathrooms, laundry rooms, or a light-filled home office, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and gray-veined marble. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper navy accents, charcoal textiles, or black hardware.

LRV of Cumulus Cotton
Cumulus Cotton has an LRV of 76.63% 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 76.63%, 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.
