What color is Benjamin Moore Stampede?
Benjamin Moore Stampede 979 is a muted medium taupe with a noticeable gray cast and soft brown-beige warmth. Its low-key, earthy character keeps it from reading overly tan, while the depth gives walls more presence than a pale neutral. In bright daylight, Stampede can appear softly gray-brown; under warmer lamps, its beige and weathered khaki notes become more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and studies where a grounded wall color is wanted, and it can also give cabinetry a subdued, furniture-like finish. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal accents, black metal, aged brass, and natural oak or walnut for a layered, material-driven look.

LRV of Stampede
Stampede has an LRV of 20.32% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 20.32%, 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.
