Benjamin Moore

Lichen Stone

CSP-820

Lichen Stone is a warm, gray-green neutral with an LRV of 49.87, sitting near the middle of the reflectance scale. Its yellow-green undertone is softened by a pronounced gray base, resulting in a color that reads as a warm putty with a faint botanical cast. It shifts subtly between green and tan depending on the light source.

White Dove or Pale Oak make natural trim choices that respect its warmth, while Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal ground the scheme. Healing Aloe and Windham Cream expand the palette in green and cream directions respectively.
