What color is Benjamin Moore Silver Cloud?
Benjamin Moore Silver Cloud 2129-70 is a very light, cool blue-gray with a clean, airy cast. Its pale value keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the subtle blue-green influence gives it a fresh edge in daylight. In north-facing rooms, Silver Cloud may appear a little crisper and grayer; warmer bulbs can soften it toward a gentle misty gray. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms especially well, and can also give kitchen cabinetry a light, understated color. Pair it with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted navy textiles for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Silver Cloud undertones?
Silver Cloud is a very light, low-saturation blue-gray that reads close to near-white, with a soft neutral overall character. In the supplied digital sample, the blue-green direction is very subtle, so any undertone reads more as a slight cool bias than a distinct color. Benjamin Moore describes it as a light blue-gray, which matches the visible blue-gray main family rather than indicating a separate hidden undertone. Warm artificial light may make it look a little softer and less cool, while cool daylight can make its faint blue-gray cast easier to notice.

LRV of Silver Cloud
Silver Cloud has an LRV of 73.93% 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 73.93%, 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.
