What color is Benjamin Moore Skipping Stone?

Benjamin Moore Skipping Stone CSP-155 is a light, muted neutral that sits between soft beige and pale gray. Its low-saturation, slightly warm cast keeps it from reading stark, while the gray influence gives the color a quietly weathered look. In bright daylight, it can appear like a clean sandy off-white; under warmer lamps, its beige notes become more noticeable. This shade is well suited to living room and bedroom walls, especially alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and creamy white trim. Skipping Stone can also give cabinetry or exterior siding a restrained, light neutral finish without looking overly white.

What are Benjamin Moore Skipping Stone undertones?

Skipping Stone is a light, highly muted neutral with a soft beige-gray character and a subtle yellow-leaning bias in the supplied digital sample. It reads more like a softened warm gray or greige than a clearly yellow or beige paint, since the color’s saturation is low and the bias is slight. Benjamin Moore describes it as a neutral with subtle shading that plays with light, which fits its restrained, changeable appearance rather than a strong undertone statement. Warm artificial light may bring out its faint beige warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear a little grayer and more neutral.

LRV of Skipping Stone

Skipping Stone has an LRV of 61.68% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 61.68%, 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.
