What color is Benjamin Moore Stonecutter?

Benjamin Moore Stonecutter 2135-20 is a deep blue-gray with a distinctly cool, charcoal-like cast. Its low-light depth gives walls a grounded, architectural presence, while the blue-green edge becomes more noticeable in clear daylight. Use it in a study, dining room, powder room, or on built-in cabinetry where a dark finish can define the room without reading as plain black. Stonecutter pairs well with crisp white trim, pale gray stone, weathered oak, black metal, and muted blue or green accents. In dim rooms, this shade will appear especially dark, so it is best balanced with lighter furnishings or warm wood tones.

What are Benjamin Moore Stonecutter undertones?

Stonecutter is a deep, very muted blue-green that reads close to charcoal or slate at a glance. The supplied digital color sample has a subtle teal direction, with a slight green-blue bias rather than a strong, obvious undertone. Benjamin Moore describes the color as defined by tones of teal and slate, which fits its visibly dark blue-green main family and restrained saturation. Warm artificial light may bring out its softer gray-green side, while cool daylight can make the blue-teal cast more noticeable, though the color will remain quite dark overall.

LRV of Stonecutter

Stonecutter has an LRV of 8.41% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.41%, 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.
