Chateau vs Skipping Stone

ChateauBenjamin MoorevsSkipping StoneBenjamin MooreΔE 16.1 — Distinct difference

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Chateau reads as greige-grey, while Skipping Stone reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Skipping Stone (LRV 62) reflects noticeably more light than Chateau (LRV 37), a difference of 25 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Chateau runs red while Skipping Stone is decidedly yellow and red, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 16.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
