Benjamin Moore

White Cloud

2159-70

White Cloud (OC-130) from Benjamin Moore is a warm off-white with faint orange undertones and an LRV of 85.91. Its high reflectance keeps it reading as a white rather than a cream in most lighting conditions, though the warm shift is noticeable against cooler whites. It pairs with Gentle Cream and Windham Cream for warm tonal groupings, Rustic Taupe and Georgian Brick for earthy contrast, and Hawthorne Yellow for an analogous warm extension.

It is appropriate for walls, ceilings, and trim in rooms with mixed or natural light sources.

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.
