Stonington Gray review: Benjamin Moore HC-170

Stonington Gray in real light

Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.

North light North light is cool and indirect all day, so it mutes Stonington Gray's warmth and can make it read flatter and slightly gray.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Stonington Gray looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South-facing rooms get the most direct sun all day, which pushes Stonington Gray's warmth further, sometimes past what the chip suggests.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.

balanced warm-cool gray, subtle blue-green undertone.

A true chameleon gray that sits evenly between warm and cool, which is why it shows up so often as a whole-house color in mixed-light homes where a more warm or cool gray would clash in at least one room.
