Benjamin Moore

Revolutionary Storm

CW-155

Revolutionary Storm is a medium-depth taupe with warm undertones and an LRV of 24.11, placing it in the lower-mid reflectance range where it absorbs a noticeable share of ambient light. The blend of gray and brown reads neutral in balanced daylight but shifts warmer under incandescent sources. It offers enough depth for accent walls or full-room application in well-lit spaces.

White Dove and Edgecomb Gray work as lighter companion tones for trim and ceilings. Chelsea Gray deepens the neutral palette, while Hale Navy introduces a cooler contrasting accent.
