What color is Benjamin Moore Garden Stone?
Benjamin Moore Garden Stone CSP-1000 is a muted, mid-light beige with a noticeable golden-khaki cast. Its softened yellow and gray influences keep it from reading as a bright cream, giving walls a grounded, earthy look instead. In daylight, Garden Stone can appear warmer and slightly sunbaked, while lower or cooler light may bring out its subdued, stone-like grayness. It suits living rooms, hallways, and dining spaces where natural wood, aged brass, linen, and woven textures are part of the mix. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm gray-browns, or deep olive accents for a layered, organic palette.

LRV of Garden Stone
Garden Stone has an LRV of 49.11% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 49.11%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
