Caldwell Green vs Stonington Gray
Both are Benjamin Moore colors. Hue-wise, Caldwell Green belongs to the green-grey family and Stonington Gray to the grey family. At LRV 59 vs 16, Stonington Gray will read as the brighter of the two — a 43-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. The tonal difference — Caldwell Green's green character against Stonington Gray's yellow — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 36.1, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below you'll find 4 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Caldwell Green vs Stonington Gray in Real Spaces
4 real rooms side by side. Seeing Caldwell Green and Stonington Gray in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Stonington Gray returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Bedroom
Bedroom walls are often seen under warm artificial light, a context that shifts both colors from how they look on a chip. The LRV gap is large enough that Stonington Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Caldwell Green would.
Bathroom
Bathrooms amplify color — the enclosed space and reflective surfaces make what reads subtle elsewhere feel more present here. The LRV gap is large enough that Stonington Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Caldwell Green would.
Kitchen Cabinets
On cabinetry, undertone and temperature become more pronounced against countertops and hardware. The LRV gap is large enough that Stonington Gray will make the room feel meaningfully brighter than Caldwell Green would.

Caldwell Green vs Stonington Gray Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Caldwell Green on one side and Stonington Gray on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
