}On this page
Jasper Stone is SW 9133 in the Sherwin-Williams range. Its hex is #8D9E97, its RGB is 141, 158, 151, and its LRV is 32.193. It is a soft gray-green that sits in the dark band, though only just.
Reading the numbers
The HSL value is hsl(155, 8%, 59%) and the OKLCH value is oklch(68.4% 0.022 169). Lab is lab(63.6% -7.3 1.5). A hue of 169 degrees with chroma of 0.022 measures as a blue-green undertone on a neutral base. Compared with a sibling such as Underseas, this color is lighter, so it is easier to live with in a room that has modest daylight.
Listed coordinating colors
The brand gives three partners: Window Pane (SW 6210), Gossamer Veil (SW 9165) and Charcoal Blue (SW 2739). No page exists for any of them on this site, so they are named with their codes only. Window Pane is also listed for Underseas, which shares that one partner.
ΔE neighbors
Underseas (SW 6214) is ΔE 5.4 away, clearly different. Evergreen Fog (SW 9130) is 7.3, and Steely Gray (SW 7664) is 7.6.
The standout is Behr Rainy Afternoon (N430-4) at 1.6. Under 2 means the pair is effectively indistinguishable once painted, so it is a plausible stand-in if you prefer Behr. Benjamin Moore Herb Bouquet (460) is 4.9, related but visible. Platinum Gray (HC-179) is 8.6 and Templeton Gray (HC-161) is 8.7. Even the 1.6 should be tested; get both samples side by side before you decide.
Compared with the darker Underseas, the extra lightness here means a bigger share of the room's light survives. If you like the hue but worry about gloom, this is the safer of the two steps, and it pairs well with white woodwork that keeps edges crisp.
Worked example
Think of a small bathroom with one frosted window and white tile. Jasper Stone on the walls gives a spa-like mid-depth tone, and it avoids the heaviness of a very dark paint. With a measured LRV of 32.193, it will not glow, so add a bright ceiling and good vanity lighting. Fixtures in brushed nickel keep the cool undertone, while brass shifts the room toward warmer, and the green reads more olive than blue.
Try this: tape a large swatch beside the mirror, switch on the lights you will actually use, and judge the green at night, when it is most likely to change.
Text contrast
Black text on #8D9E97 scores 7.47:1, and white text scores 2.81:1. Use black for anything you need people to read.
