What color is Sherwin Williams Storm Cloud?
Sherwin Williams Storm Cloud SW 6249 is a muted medium blue-gray with a cool, softened cast rather than a sharply icy look. Its low saturation gives it a weathered, grounded appearance that can read slightly bluer in daylight and more charcoal-gray under warm interior lighting. Storm Cloud is well suited to bedroom, office, or living-room walls where a darker neutral is wanted without going fully black or navy. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal textiles for a clean, layered palette. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or an exterior accent such as shutters or a front door.

LRV of Storm Cloud
Storm Cloud has an LRV of 22.67% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 22.67%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
