A match of Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm reads as a medium gray with very low chroma and a faint cool green cast. It is a subdued, muted color rather than a clean, bright neutral, so it tends to look quiet and slightly complex rather than flat.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to AF-700 Storm works well on small parts where a restrained gray is needed, such as HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, railing pieces, mailboxes, downspouts, and cabinet or furniture hardware. It can also be used on PVC trim pieces, access covers, and other removable components that need to coordinate with a painted fixture or exterior detail.

Because AF-700 Storm is fairly low in chroma, it usually covers in a controlled way without the strong hide challenges seen in vivid colors. Even so, final appearance can shift with finish, substrate, and film build: smoother or glossier surfaces may read a bit darker and sharper, while textured or porous parts can soften the color slightly. On older or unevenly coated items, sheen differences may be more noticeable than the color itself.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ AF-700 Storm *

Will MyPerfectColor match of Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm look different in matte vs gloss?

Yes. The same match of Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how much light reflects off the surface and how deep the color appears. A match of Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm is the color reference, but it does not define the sheen.

If you are coating a part that will sit near an existing painted surface, try to match the sheen as closely as possible. If it is a new part, choose the finish based on how the item will be used and cleaned, not on the color code alone.

How much MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm do I need?

For custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Actual coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, porosity, application method, and how many coats are needed for even hide.

If you are coating rough, dark, or uneven surfaces, plan for extra material. Other MyPerfectColor formats can cover much more area than spray paint, but the exact amount still depends on the product type and the surface being painted.

Can MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm be used on plastic?

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test AF-700 Storm on the actual plastic before painting the full part. Some plastics bond well after basic cleaning, while others need more prep to get reliable adhesion.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. Surface prep matters as much as the color match.

What projects are practical for Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint?

Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is practical for small parts and awkward items that are easier to spray than brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and removable components.

It is also useful for metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated items when proper prep is done first. If the part is small, irregular, or hard to coat evenly with a brush, spray paint is usually the better format.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore AF-700 Storm in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
