Soft Stones

6008-1C

Soft Stones is a medium beige-gray with a dry, stony warmth. The stony beige-gray base helps heavier upholstery feel intentional. This neutral can settle living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms with both wood and stone finishes.

In brighter light, it looks more beige. In shaded corners, the gray side increases. Pair with warm white trim and textured fabrics. If the house has cool gray flooring, sample first so the walls do not turn muddy.

Soft Stones 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.
