What color is Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray?
Benjamin Moore Stonington Gray HC-170 is a light, muted gray with a gently softened, near-neutral appearance. Its #CACBC5 color value keeps it pale rather than stark, with a subtle yellow-green cast that may read differently beside surrounding finishes. In bright daylight, this shade can look clean and lightly airy; under warmer lamps, it may appear a touch softer and less silvery. It is well suited to broad wall areas in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet gray is wanted without a sharp blue cast. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, brushed nickel, or deep charcoal details for clear contrast.

LRV of Stonington Gray
Stonington Gray has an LRV of 59.36% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 59.36%, 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.
