On this page

Stained Glass carries code CSP-685, hex #44646D, RGB 68, 100, 109. It is a deep, slightly greenish blue, and the only one of the group with a chroma worth noticing.

Reading the color

The OKLCH value is oklch(48.2% 0.04 217). A chroma of 0.04 is still modest, so the file labels the undertone as a cool neutral with a blue cast. The hue of 217 degrees sits between blue and green, which is why it can read as a muted teal in some light. The LRV is 13.15, in the very dark band. After dark the blue comes forward under lamps, while against crisp whites it may look flatter.

Worked example

Imagine a dining room with an east window and a white picture rail. Stained Glass on the walls below the rail, with Cloud White (OC-130) above and on the ceiling, makes a firm two-tone room. Morning light is bright but cool, so the teal side shows early, and lamps later bring out more of the gray. If you want fewer surprises, paint a sample board and move it between the window wall and the darkest corner.

Light lettering is the practical choice on this shade: white text reaches 6.38:1, black only 3.28:1. A heading or button in this color needs white type to be comfortably readable.

Brand coordinating colors

Benjamin Moore lists Paper Doll (CSP-485), Lilac Hush (CSP-490), Cloud White (OC-130) and Sag Harbor Gray (HC-95). None has a page here. The two CSP entries share a prefix with Stained Glass, so they are easy to find in the same collection. Lilac Hush adds a quiet purple contrast, and Sag Harbor Gray works as a mid-tone partner.

Close colors and cross-brand options

Within Benjamin Moore, Vermont Slate (1673) is ΔE 3.3, related but visible. Dark Harbor (CSP-720) is 10.3 and Midnight Blue (1638) is 11.6, clearly different.

Sherwin-Williams Deep Sea Dive (SW 7618) is 3.7, also related but visible, and is the only other-brand color within 5. Behr Dark Ash (770F-5) is 12.3, Sherwin-Williams Peppercorn (SW 7674) is 12.9 and Pewter Green (SW 6208) is 13.2. Nothing is a swap, so keep to the original and sample it.

This is a color to use with intent. A whole room in it will feel enclosed, while a single wall or a built-in reads as a deliberate accent. Because the green-blue balance shifts with the light, view your sample in the room at morning, noon and night before ordering gallons.
