Valspar

Cloud Mountain

V115-2

Cloud Mountain is a medium cool gray with a mineral blue-green cast. It has more depth than a pale wall gray, so it can handle offices, mudrooms, or exterior trim. The color may feel too cool in rooms with warm beige carpet.

Wood furniture helps. Use a soft white trim for contrast, not a yellowed cream. In low daylight, expect the color to become quieter and closer to slate.

Cloud Mountain 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.
