Benjamin Moore

Cumulus Cloud

1550

Cumulus Cloud from Benjamin Moore is a warm neutral with gray undertones, registering an LRV of 52.31. At this reflectance level, it reads as a true mid-tone - neither light nor dark - and maintains a steady, grounded appearance across varying light conditions. The gray base keeps it from leaning too warm or too cool.

Classic Gray and Balboa Mist work as lighter companions, while Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy offer deeper contrast. Revere Pewter sits in a similar tonal range and blends easily alongside it.
