Benjamin Moore Cloud White – The Warm Off-White

If you have been keeping up with my articles for a while you’ll know that I love to share my industry secrets to help you get the most from your home. And paint colors are one of those topics I love to deep dive into!

A hot topic across the internet – from Facebook Groups, to Instagram, and Pinterest – is finding the perfect off-white paint color. With far too many choices available, from multiple paint brands, there’s no wonder homeowners get themselves confused and overwhelmed when making this choice.

Today I want to share with you an off-white paint color that isn’t heavily spoken about online, but is a key player in my bank of white paint colors I refer back to for my client’s projects. And that is Benjamin Moore Cloud White (OC-130)!

Benjamin Moore Cloud White (OC-130) is a warm white. It’s soft and subtle which makes it a beautiful option for many homes. If you’re looking for a warm and inviting neutral paint color, Cloud White could be just what you need!

Let’s explore Cloud White and discuss how to use it at home, and what to watch out for!

Why We Love Benjamine Moore Cloud White!

Some neutral or off-white paint colors can appear too yellow in some lights, but Cloud White isn’t like this at all! While it does have warm undertones, they don’t shine through as yellow. Instead, it is a creamy warm white that looks fabulous on a variety of applications. Walls, trim, and even cabinets!

I also love this paint color because of the glow it creates when used in a south-facing room. The warmth that comes through makes the space feel cozy and inviting, which many of my clients want with their new spaces.

How to Use Cloud White at Home 

Benjamin Moore Cloud White can be used in a wide variety of ways in your home.

This paint color is great for use as all-over wall paint, trim, and cabinets. If you want to add a soft white with slightly warm undertones that aren’t too yellow, you can use Cloud White wherever you choose.

The best rooms to use Cloud White are those that are south facing. This is because the natural light will make the color look warmer. You can use Cloud White in north facing rooms too, as it’s a soft color that will balance out the cooler, and flatter natural lighting. 

Benjamin Moore Cloud White is also a great contender for use on kitchen cabinets! And for the exact same reasons why this paint color is so diverse when it comes to north or south facing rooms. This paint color is a good all-rounder.

What to Watch Out for…

As with any paint color you choose, there are some caveats! 

Avoid painting all your surfaces in Cloud White. This could overemphasize the warm, slightly yellow, undertones a bit too much. Even though there are neutral undertones in there as well, too much of the same color can be too much. 

However, if you’re crafty with paint sheen levels, there’s no reason you can’t let the different sheens do all the work in creating a difference between walls and cabinets.

Ways to make this color last in your home…

Making Benjamin Moore Cloud White last in your home is relatively straightforward. There are lots of ways you can use this color (see examples above) so there is something for everyone and each space! 

This paint color is a timeless warm off-white that will never go out of style, and therefore serve you for many years to come! You’ll never tire of seeing this warm off-white color on your walls, as it’s the perfect base color for creating an interior scheme.
