Is Stormy Monday warm or cool?
Stormy Monday is close to balanced, a gray with a faint warm violet-taupe undertone. Its LRV is approximately 41, placing it solidly mid-scale, so it reads as a committed gray rather than a backdrop. In cool light the violet note surfaces; in warm light it relaxes toward greige. It works across exposures, though north-facing rooms will get the moodier interpretation of the name.
Why does Stormy Monday look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #AEABAA as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Stormy Monday have?
Stormy Monday has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 41, meaning it reflects about 41% of visible light. That mid-range depth reads as a true color on the wall without going dark.
