A match of Sherwin Williams SW9555 Storm Warning is a deep, muted gray with a slight warm olive-taupe cast. It reads quiet rather than clean, with very low chroma and an earthy undertone that keeps it from looking stark.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, mailbox parts, railings, shutter hardware, shelf supports, and other small metal or plastic pieces where a darker neutral needs to blend into surrounding painted surfaces. It can also be used on frames, baskets, furniture accents, and PVC trim pieces when a subdued dark gray is the target.

Because this is a dark color with very low chroma, surface prep and finish can affect the final read. Gloss level, texture, and film build may make it look slightly lighter or deeper, and uneven substrates can show through if coverage is thin. On lighter or patchy surfaces, additional coats may be needed for even color.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW9555 Storm Warning *

How do I confirm SW9555 Storm Warning before I order a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm SW9555 Storm Warning from a physical Sherwin-Williams swatch, fan deck, or another known original color reference whenever possible. Screen images can shift with monitor settings and lighting, so they are not a reliable approval method by themselves. MyPerfectColor matches the selected Sherwin-Williams color reference, so use the original brand standard as the target rather than an aged or weathered painted surface.

What dry time should I expect for MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW9555 Storm Warning?

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW9555 Storm Warning, expect dry-to-touch in minutes, recoating in about 1 to 2 hours, and full cure in about 2 weeks.
