Benjamin Moore

Studio Clay

CSP-380

Studio Clay is a warm, earthy neutral with clear clay and brown undertones. Its LRV of 28.77 places it in the darker mid-range, giving it a solid and grounding presence. It is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, and studies where depth is desired.

The undertone remains warm without turning red. Studio Clay pairs well with Benjamin Moore Simply White and Cloud White for balance, while Chelsea Gray and Kendall Charcoal add structure. Saybrook Sage and Shaker Beige support related, muted combinations.

Studio Clay 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.
