Benjamin Moore

Dreamy Cloud

2117-70

Dreamy Cloud is a light violet with a subtle purple undertone that distinguishes it from a plain cool gray. At an LRV of 76.41, it reflects a high amount of light and reads as nearly neutral in most lighting conditions. The violet cast becomes more apparent under cooler light sources.

This shade is functional in bedrooms, bathrooms, and other spaces requiring a quiet tonal shift from white. Benjamin Moore Lavender Mist and Violet Mist make analogous pairings. Swiss Coffee or White Dove serve as neutral trim options, while Kensington Blue or Hale Navy provide deeper contrast.
