On this page

Benjamin Moore numbers Fieldstone 1558. The hex is #B0B0A5, the RGB values are 176, 176, 165, and the LRV is 42.73. At that value it sits in the middle of the range, so it shows as a definite gray-green tone in daylight rather than a near-white.

Breaking down the color

The HSL reading is hsl(60, 7%, 67%) and the OKLCH value is oklch(75.4% 0.015 107). With chroma only 0.015 the color is subtle, but the hue of 107 degrees points to green, and the file labels it cool-leaning with a green undertone. Lab is lab(71.6% -1.5 5.7). The CMYK mix of 0%, 0%, 6%, 31% is almost all black with a little yellow, which explains why it feels soft and slightly mossy instead of icy.

Brand-listed pairings

Four coordinating colors are listed: Simply White (OC-117), Mexican Tile (1194), Super White (OC-152) and Spring Thaw (1508). Simply White is the one with a page on this site. The remaining three appear by name and code only. Two of the four are whites, which gives you a choice of trim brightness.

Worked example

A hallway with no windows and a wood stair rail is a realistic place to use this. Overhead fixtures are the main light, so the green in #B0B0A5 will surface under warm bulbs and turn more neutral under cool ones. Try Fieldstone on the walls, Simply White on baseboards and door casings, and see whether the stair rail looks richer against it. On a product label printed in this color, black text gives 9.59:1 and white text 2.18:1, so black is the better choice.

This is a versatile mid-tone for rooms that get mixed light. Because the chroma is so low, it will not fight with wood tones, and the faint green keeps it from turning flat or purple the way some grays do under cool bulbs. Hold your sample next to the actual floor, curtains and furniture instead of judging it against a white board on its own.

Neighboring colors

Within Benjamin Moore, Platinum Gray (HC-179) is ΔE 3, October Mist (1495) is 3.9 and Silver Fox (2108-50) is 4. Each is related but visible.

Across brands, Sherwin-Williams Oyster Bay (SW 6206) comes in at 2.6, Mindful Gray (SW 7016) at 3.6 and Clary Sage (SW 6178) at 4.5. Behr Graceful Gray (PPU18-12) is 4.9, which is nearly at the point where two colors look clearly different. None of these lands under 2, so none can be called a drop-in swap. Paint real samples and judge them beside the Fieldstone chip.
