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.

Lichen Stone in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
