Benjamin Moore

Stampede

979 / CC-540, AC-3

Stampede is a deep brown-gray with an LRV of 20.32, placing it in the lower-mid range of light reflectance. The gray undertone tempers the warmth of the brown base, resulting in a muted, earthy tone that avoids reading overly warm or cool. It can shift slightly greener in certain lighting conditions due to its olive-adjacent character.

Classic Gray and White Dove provide effective lighter counterpoints, while Revere Pewter shares a similar neutral warmth at a higher reflectance. Kendall Charcoal deepens the palette, and Edgecomb Gray bridges the gap between Stampede and lighter trim colors.

Stampede 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.
