What color is Benjamin Moore Randolph Stone?
Benjamin Moore Randolph Stone CW-75 is a muted, medium-dark gray-brown with a soft weathered cast. Its low-saturation color value keeps it grounded rather than heavy, showing a gentle warmth that can read slightly taupe or olive-leaning beside brighter neutrals. In daylight, Randolph Stone appears like softened stone; under warmer lamps, its brown-beige side becomes more noticeable. It suits library walls, dining rooms, mudrooms, and exterior trim where a deeper neutral is wanted without the sharpness of charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, faded blue-grays, blackened metal, natural oak, and aged brass for a layered, material-focused look.

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 22.16%, 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.
