Sherwin Williams

Storm Cloud

SW 6249

Sherwin-Williams Storm Cloud is a cool blue-gray with slate undertones at hex #7A848D. At an LRV of 23, it absorbs a fair amount of light and reads as a moody neutral rather than a true blue. Its appearance shifts noticeably between warm and cool lighting conditions.

This shade works in bedrooms, studies, and exterior applications where a deep cool neutral provides depth. It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster for warm trim contrast, Greek Villa as a ceiling color, Agreeable Gray for a lighter adjacent wall, and Slate Tile for a deeper tonal grouping.
