Dreamy Cloud vs Storm Cloud Gray

Dreamy Cloud and Storm Cloud Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Hue-wise, Dreamy Cloud belongs to the white family and Storm Cloud Gray to the grey family. The 48-point LRV gap — 76 for Dreamy Cloud vs 29 for Storm Cloud Gray — means Dreamy Cloud will open up a space more effectively.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
