Benjamin Moore

Raindance

1572 / CC-680

Raindance by Benjamin Moore is a steely green with prominent gray undertones that give it a cool, muted quality. With an LRV of 43.47, it falls in the mid-range of light reflectance, making it usable in bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms without making the space feel dark. The gray component tempers the green, producing a color that reads as neutral in many lighting conditions.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Gray Owl for a tonal gray scheme, Coventry Gray for a close neutral, Wrought Iron for deep contrast, Black Forest Green for an analogous dark accent, and White Dove for clean trim separation.

Raindance in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
