What color is Benjamin Moore Stone Hearth?

Benjamin Moore Stone Hearth 984 is a muted light beige with a soft gray cast, giving it a quietly earthy, low-saturation look. Its warm undertone keeps it from reading stark, while the gray influence prevents it from becoming overtly yellow or creamy. In bright daylight, Stone Hearth can appear like a pale weathered greige; under warmer lamps, its beige and subtle tan notes become more apparent. It suits living rooms, hallways, bedrooms, and open-plan walls where a gentle neutral backdrop is wanted. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

What are Benjamin Moore Stone Hearth undertones?

Stone Hearth reads as a mid-light, very muted beige-taupe neutral with a soft yellow-brown cast rather than a strongly colored look. The supplied digital sample shows a subtle yellow bias, though that bias is faint enough that surrounding finishes and lighting can influence how it reads. Benjamin Moore describes it as a “stony neutral” with a “hint of warmth,” which fits its overall neutral family and its gently warm visible direction. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its beige warmth, while cool daylight can make it appear a little more neutral or lightly gray-taupe.

LRV of Stone Hearth

Stone Hearth has an LRV of 48.45% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 48.45%, 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.
