Soapstone vs Stonington
Where Soapstone belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, Stonington is a PPG color. These are both beige-greiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige-greige to land. Soapstone (LRV 53) reflects noticeably more light than Stonington (LRV 50), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 1.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
