Stormy Monday

2112-50

Stormy Monday is a medium gray with understated violet undertones that appear under certain lighting conditions. Its LRV of 40.54 places it in a balanced range suitable for full rooms. The color reads neutral at a glance but gains complexity in indirect light.

It works well in contemporary interiors and transitional spaces. Stormy Monday pairs cleanly with Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray and Balboa Mist. Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy provide contrast, while muted warm metals complement its undertone.
