What color is Benjamin Moore White Cloud?
Benjamin Moore White Cloud 2159-70 is a very pale, creamy off-white with a noticeable soft yellow-beige cast. Its high lightness keeps walls looking open, while the warm undertone prevents the color from reading stark or icy. In bright daylight, White Cloud can appear close to a gentle ivory; lower or warmer lighting brings out more of its buttery warmth. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens where crisp white trim would feel too sharp, and it can also give cabinetry a quietly softened white finish. Pair it with natural oak, woven fibers, warm brass, clay-toned accents, or muted olive greens for a grounded palette.

What are Benjamin Moore White Cloud undertones?
White Cloud is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of White Cloud
White Cloud has an LRV of 85.91% and refers to White colors that reflect almost all 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 85.91%, 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.
