Gray Cloud

2126-60

Gray Cloud is a light gray with subtle blue undertones that keep it on the cooler side of the neutral spectrum. With an LRV of 69.7, it reflects considerable light and can help smaller rooms feel more open. The blue influence is mild but noticeable in certain lighting conditions.

This color works in living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms where a light, cool backdrop is appropriate. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Iceberg for a tonal blue-gray scheme, Chantilly Lace for crisp contrast, Hale Navy for depth, and Kendall Charcoal for accents.
