Match of Sherwin Williams™ UO12 Storm Cloud *

Confirm UO12 Storm Cloud from a physical swatch from the original Sherwin Williams color or from a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the goal is to verify that UO12 Storm Cloud is the exact target before you place the order.

The code identifies the color target, but it does not tell you the sheen, product line, or how an existing painted surface will look after aging. If you are matching a part that needs to coordinate with another item, make sure the reference you approve is the one you want reproduced.

Coverage for UO12 Storm Cloud depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a general planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats commonly cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

If the item is textured, porous, dark, or highly visible, plan for extra product because it may take more than one coat to get even coverage. It is also smart to allow for a test spray and any touch-up work on edges, hardware, or complex shapes.

A match of Sherwin Williams UO12 Storm Cloud can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material before doing the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion, especially on difficult or low-energy plastics.

For best results, clean the surface well, follow normal prep steps, and make a test application on the same plastic you plan to paint. That is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before committing to the final piece.

The right finish for UO12 Storm Cloud depends on how the part will be used and how you want the coated surface to perform. The code identifies the color target, but it does not determine sheen, and sheen can change the way the matched color looks once applied.

In practical terms, glossier finishes are usually easier to wipe clean and can be more durable, while flatter finishes reduce reflection and may hide minor surface imperfections better. Choose the finish that fits the item, its wear level, and the appearance you need after application.

A match of Sherwin Williams UO12 Storm Cloud can read differently after application depending on lighting, placement, sheen, nearby surfaces, and the substrate under it. That is normal even when the color match itself is correct.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, check the MyPerfectColor match under the same lighting where it will be used and, if possible, on the actual material or a sample panel. That is the best way to judge the final appearance before finishing the full project.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams UO12 Storm Cloud in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams UO12 Storm Cloud, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

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