What color is Sherwin Williams Storm Warning?
Sherwin Williams Storm Warning SW 9555 is a muted, medium-dark gray with a subtle warm cast that keeps it from reading blue or stark. Its low saturation gives it a softened, weathered look, closer to charcoal stone than a crisp architectural gray. In bright natural light, Storm Warning can appear like a balanced gray, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its faint earthy beige-brown influence. It suits studies, dining rooms, exterior siding, and cabinetry where a grounded neutral is wanted without the heaviness of near-black. Pair it with creamy off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, black metal, and pale limestone for a restrained, material-focused palette.

LRV of Storm Warning
Storm Warning has an LRV of 13.73% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 13.73%, 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.
