Dark Storm Cloud from Behr is a medium gray with cool blue undertones and a slightly dusty quality. At an LRV of 55.3, it sits near the middle of the reflectance range, reflecting moderate light while providing depth. The blue undertone is subdued rather than prominent, giving the color a restrained character suitable for full room walls, bathroom vanities, and furniture.

It pairs with Behr Ultra Pure White for trim contrast, Silver Drop for a lighter tonal step, Blueprint for analogous depth, Half Sea Fog for a related cool neutral, and Wheat Bread for warmth.
