Cloud Cover OC-25 Hue Family
Here’s Cloud Cover OC-25 by Benjamin Moore in context of its Hue Family neighborhood, 7 Y (Yellow), on The Color Strategist Color Wheel. The pink arrows point to where Cloud Cover OC-25 fits in among the other colors according to its Value 9.01 rounded to 9.00 and Chroma of 0.46 rounded to 0.05.
Will cloud cover pair with white dove? Both Of course Benjamin Moore
No. There’s not enough difference in Chroma. Would be fine in different rooms but I wouldn’t put them right next to each other.
How does Cloud Cover compare to SW Origami White in terms of value and chroma?
Hi Susan,
We added a Colorography for Origami White so you can compare: https://campchroma.com/origami-white-7636-by-sherwin-williams/

I love OC 25 Cloud Cover, but wish it was just a touch darker. What colors do you suggest?
Why does cloud cover look blue to me? I walk into the room or down the hallway and all I see is blue. Is it the lighting? How do I fix this?
@ Penny Cloud Cover is a low Chroma, near a true neutral color. In other words, it’s not very colorful. Which means it can easily be influenced by inherent light sources and the color of the contents in the space. You can try adjusting the lighting and/or adding a rug. For the new rug color, choose a colorway that’s opposite the current flooring color and see what happens.
Could end up that Cloud Cover just isn’t the right color for that room and its quality of light.

Would cloud cover look food on the walls with simply white as the trim? Southwest facing room
I would not put Cloud Cover with Simply White trim. Because they’re too close in terms of Chroma.
As you can see in the Colorography, Cloud Cover has a Chroma of 0.46.
Simply White has a Chroma of 0.50. See Simply White Colorography here: https://campchroma.com/simply-white-oc-117-by-benjamin-moore/
The rule of thumb to follow is there needs to be a difference in Chroma of 0.20 (ish). This is a color strategy that will prevent either white making the other look dingy or dirty.
