Benjamin Moore

Stormy Sky

1616

Stormy Sky is a dark gray with clear blue undertones and a cool overall cast. With an LRV of 13.75, it absorbs light and creates a contained, low-reflectance surface. The color performs best in bedrooms, studies, and accent applications.

Its undertone remains consistent without drifting toward purple. Stormy Sky pairs well with Benjamin Moore Boothbay Gray and Wickham Gray for tonal alignment. Simply White and Chantilly Lace create contrast, while Revere Pewter adds warmth.
