What color is Benjamin Moore Pumice Stone?
Benjamin Moore Pumice Stone 1197 is a grounded medium brown with clear red and muted clay undertones. Its #905B47 color value gives it a warm, earthy cast that reads richer than a standard tan but softer than a true brick red. In bright natural light, the reddish warmth is more apparent, while lower or north-facing light can bring out its deeper brown side. Use it on a dining room wall, den, or exterior front door when the goal is a substantial, color-forward surface. Pumice Stone pairs particularly well with creamy off-whites, warm oak, aged brass, cognac leather, and charcoal accents.

LRV of Pumice Stone
Pumice Stone has an LRV of 14.94% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 14.94%, 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.
