What color is Benjamin Moore Stained Glass?
Benjamin Moore Stained Glass CSP-685 is a deep, muted blue-green with a noticeable gray cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool teal-blue character can read slightly more slate-like in low light, while daylight brings out the green-blue nuance in the color. Use it on a study wall, powder room, or built-in cabinetry where its medium-dark depth can create definition without looking black. Stained Glass pairs well with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, and soft clay or putty neutrals. For a stronger contrast, try it alongside crisp ivory and charcoal accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Stained Glass undertones?
Stained Glass reads as a midtone, muted teal with a balanced blue-green character and restrained saturation. Within that teal family, it has a slight green bias, which keeps it from reading as a straightforward blue. Warm artificial light may make its green side more noticeable, while cool daylight may emphasize the blue-teal side.

LRV of Stained Glass
Stained Glass has an LRV of 13.15% 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 13.15%, 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.
