A match of Benjamin Moore 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray is a muted gray-green with a soft olive cast. It reads as a subdued, medium-dark color rather than a clean gray, and the low chroma keeps it earthy and quiet instead of crisp or bright.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Benjamin Moore color reference can be used on vents, return-air grilles, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutter hardware, and other small parts that need a restrained finish. It is also practical for PVC trim pieces, metal fixtures, baskets, frames, shelving components, and hardware where the goal is to carry the same muted color across different materials.

Because the color is fairly subdued, it usually handles small-format spray projects well, but sheen and substrate still affect the final read. Smooth metal or plastic can make the green undertone appear a little clearer, while textured or matte surfaces tend to soften it. Even coverage and proper surface preparation matter, especially when coating over a darker, uneven, or glossy base.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray *

Can I use MyPerfectColor 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray on plastic parts, or do I need special prep?

Plastic can be very different from one part to the next, so a test application on the actual material is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray can work for many plastic projects, but surface prep matters a lot.

Clean the part well, remove any mold release, oils, or residue, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for better adhesion when the substrate is hard to coat. If the plastic is flexible, slick, or unknown, test first before committing to the full project.

Will 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray look the same in matte versus gloss finish?

No. The same 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray color reference can read differently after application depending on the finish, because matte and gloss reflect light in different ways.

If you need the finished part to coordinate with an existing surface, choose the finish that best fits the project and test the MyPerfectColor match on the same substrate whenever possible. Finish choice is a practical ordering decision, not just a style preference.

Can 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray be ordered for baskets, frames, or shelf accents?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray is a practical choice for baskets, frames, furniture accents, shelving, decor pieces, and other small items where a coordinated color is the goal.

This is useful when the project calls for a repeatable match of the selected Benjamin Moore color on a removable or easy-to-handle object. For best results, confirm the substrate and prep needs before spraying.

What should I do before applying 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray over metal or an existing coating?

Start by cleaning the surface thoroughly, then remove rust, loose paint, grease, and other contamination. If the old coating is sound, a light scuff can help the new coating grab. If it is failing, peeling, or badly oxidized, it should be addressed first.

Metal and existing coatings can change how 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray looks because gloss, texture, and surface condition affect the final appearance. MyPerfectColor primer can help when the surface needs extra adhesion support before the matched finish is applied.

Where can I find the SDS for 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray color name by itself. That means the document you need depends on whether you are ordering spray paint, another specialty format, or a different MyPerfectColor product.

Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact format you plan to order, then use the SDS for that product.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Benjamin Moore 2140-40 Storm Cloud Gray 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.
