Benjamin Moore

Stingray

1529 / OC-48

Stingray is a mid-tone gray with a soft green undertone that gives it a muted, earthy appearance. With an LRV of 58, it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads balanced in both natural and artificial lighting. The color holds its depth without becoming heavy, making it workable in living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.

Its undertone stays stable across exposures and does not skew overly cool. It coordinates cleanly with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Chantilly Lace, and Balboa Mist, while Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy provide controlled contrast. For a quieter palette, it also aligns well with Saybrook Sage.

Stingray in Different Light
