On this page

Silver Cloud carries the code 2129-70 at Benjamin Moore. Its hex is #DBE3E5 and its RGB is 219, 227, 229, three high channels that sit close together.

Numbers and what they imply

HSL comes out as hsl(192, 16%, 88%), and OKLCH as oklch(91% 0.009 214.3). The chroma of 0.009 is the lowest of this batch, so the undertone measures as true neutral, with no hue leaning it away from white. An LRV of 73.93 means it returns nearly three quarters of the light, so it brightens a room without going stark. Because the color is so close to neutral, small shifts in your bulbs or window glass will move its look more than any hidden tint.

That quality makes it a practical choice for rooms where you want brightness without a visible tint, such as a bathroom with white fixtures or a studio where you need accurate color judgments of other objects. It also shows up well against dark furniture, since the contrast stays clean.

Pairings from the brand

Benjamin Moore lists four coordinating colors: Chantilly Lace (OC-65), Snow White (2122-70), White Heron (OC-57) and Knoxville Gray (HC-160). Only Chantilly Lace has a page here. The other three are given by name and code.

Worked example

Imagine a laundry nook with a single skylight. Silver Cloud on all four walls and Chantilly Lace on the ceiling turns the nook into a soft, airy box. If you set up a web page in this color for a care-instructions tag, black text reaches 16.13:1 and white just 1.30:1. Any white type would vanish into the background, so stick with dark ink.

Silver Cloud works well on ceilings as well as walls, since an LRV of 73.93 keeps overhead surfaces bright.

If you plan a bright modern look, pair it with black hardware or dark window frames and let the paint stay quiet. Its LRV of 73.93 also means a painted ceiling will not look dingy next to it.

The tightest match is Blue Veil (875) at ΔE 0.9, hard to tell apart on a wall. Lily White (2128-70) is 1.7, also under 2. Bunny Gray (2124-50) is 2.2, related but visible.

Behr Absolute Zero (N490-1) is 3.7 and Offshore Mist (PPU13-16) is 4, and Frost (57) is 5.2, which crosses into clearly different. Sherwin-Williams Extra White (SW 7006) is 5.3.

Pale cool colors are tricky because the eye picks up even small differences when two sit side by side. So ask for sample sizes of the two or three you like and tape them to the wall before choosing.
