What is the Benjamin Moore equivalent of Stardew?
The closest Benjamin Moore match for Stardew is Beneath the Clouds 2131-50 (#A1B0B4). No cross-brand match is exact, because each brand mixes its own pigment formulas. Always confirm with a physical sample before specifying a substitute.
Is Stardew warm or cool?
Stardew is cool, a heavily gray-tempered blue with a faintly weathered quality. In shade it reads almost as a plain gray; daylight teases the blue out. The LRV of approximately 43 makes it a genuine mid-tone, deeper than the airy blues. It excels where a client wants subtle color rather than statement blue, and it pairs gracefully with warm whites, walnut, and antique brass.
Why does Stardew look different on screen than on the wall?
Screens emit light while paint reflects it, so a hex code cannot capture how lighting, sheen, and surrounding colors shift paint in a real room. Treat #A6B2B5 as accurate for digital design work, and use physical samples for final approval.
What LRV does Stardew have?
Stardew has a Light Reflectance Value of approximately 43, meaning it reflects about 43% of visible light. That mid-range depth reads as a true color on the wall without going dark.
