What color is Benjamin Moore Lichen Stone?
Benjamin Moore Lichen Stone CSP-820 is a muted, light khaki-beige with a soft gray cast and a noticeable yellow-green undertone. Its low saturation keeps it grounded rather than golden, giving walls an earthy, softly weathered appearance. In bright daylight, Lichen Stone can read as a pale olive-tinted neutral, while lower or warmer lighting brings out more of its beige side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle natural color is wanted without the starkness of off-white. Pair it with creamy whites, deep olive accents, aged brass, oak, linen, and stone finishes for a layered, organic look.

LRV of Lichen Stone
Lichen Stone has an LRV of 49.87% 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 49.87%, 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.
