What color is Benjamin Moore Dreamy Cloud?
Benjamin Moore Dreamy Cloud 2117-70 is an extremely light gray with a faint violet cast, visible most clearly beside warmer whites or beige finishes. Its low saturation keeps the color soft and nearly neutral, while the slight coolness gives it a clean, airy appearance. In bright daylight, Dreamy Cloud can read close to an off-white; under cooler artificial light, its subtle lavender-gray undertone may become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living spaces where a pale wall color is wanted without the starkness of pure white. Pair it with crisp white trim, silvery hardware, pale oak, charcoal accents, or muted plum textiles to acknowledge its understated cool undertone.

LRV of Dreamy Cloud
Dreamy Cloud has an LRV of 76.41% 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 76.41%, 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.
