Benjamin Moore

Storm

AF-700

Storm is a medium gray with clearly cool undertones and a clean, neutral profile. Its LRV of 35.6 gives it noticeable depth while remaining practical for full-room use. The color maintains consistency and avoids warm shifts under artificial lighting.

It fits well in modern and minimalist interiors. Storm coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Silver Satin and Gray Owl for tonal balance. Hale Navy and Charcoal Slate introduce contrast without clashing.
