What color is Benjamin Moore Stone Harbor?

Benjamin Moore Stone Harbor 2111-50 is a light, muted gray-beige with a softly weathered cast. Its low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading stark, while the beige influence gives the gray a gentle warmth. In bright daylight, it can look like a pale putty gray; under warmer lamps, its taupe-beige side becomes more noticeable. Use it on living room, bedroom, or hallway walls where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted without the crispness of a cool gray. Stone Harbor pairs naturally with off-white trim, aged brass, oak or walnut furniture, linen textiles, and charcoal accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Stone Harbor undertones?

Stone Harbor reads as a mid-light, low-saturation gray with a soft neutral character rather than a strongly colored cast. In the supplied digital sample, any yellow-leaning bias is subtle, so it is best viewed as a near-neutral gray rather than a clearly warm gray. Benjamin Moore describes it as a classic gray with slightly warm, malleable undertones, which fits its overall gray appearance while allowing for a gentle warmth in context. Warm artificial light may bring out that softer warmth, while cool daylight can make the gray look cleaner and more neutral.

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 43.2%, 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.
