Cloud White review: Benjamin Moore OC-130

Cloud White in real light

Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.

North light North light is cool and indirect all day, so it mutes Cloud White's warmth and can make it read flatter and slightly gray.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Cloud White looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South-facing rooms get the most direct sun all day, which pushes Cloud White's warmth further, sometimes past what the chip suggests.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.

creamy warm off-white, faint yellow-taupe undertone.

A creamy, warm off-white close to Swiss Coffee; works well as a whole-house color in homes with a lot of natural wood, though it can look slightly yellow next to a true white like Chantilly Lace.

Designer Tip
Directional Daylight and Undertone Shifts: A paint color never looks the same on all four walls. North-facing rooms receive cool, grayish-blue indirect daylight that draws out green and purple undertones, making cool grays look cold and sterile. Counteract north light by choosing warm neutrals with creamy beige undertones and LRV above 60. Conversely, south-facing rooms get warm golden sunlight all day that amplifies warm yellows and pinks, allowing cooler slate grays and muted blues to shine without feeling chilly.
