What color is Benjamin Moore Gray Cloud?
Benjamin Moore Gray Cloud 2126-60 is a very light gray with a quiet blue cast visible in its #D7DCDE color value. Its cool lean keeps white trim from looking stark while giving walls a faintly misted, airy appearance. In bright daylight, Gray Cloud can read close to a soft off-white; lower or cooler light brings out more of its blue-gray character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing rooms where a pale, clean-looking wall color is wanted without a strong color statement. Pair it with crisp white, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed nickel, or blue-gray textiles for a cohesive finish.

What are Benjamin Moore Gray Cloud undertones?
Gray Cloud is a light, low-saturation gray that reads close to neutral, with a faint cool cast in the supplied digital sample. The sample leans slightly blue, but the color is subtle enough that its undertone may not be obvious in every setting. Benjamin Moore describes it as a light gray “brightened with a hint of blue,” which fits its visible gray main family rather than making it a clearly blue paint. Warm artificial light may soften the cool impression and make it look more neutral, while cool daylight can make the slight blue-gray cast easier to notice.

LRV of Gray Cloud
Gray Cloud has an LRV of 69.7% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 69.7%, 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.
