About Flagstone

Flagstone (CC-516) is a deep beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 25, Flagstone absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Flagstone's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. It's very close to Beigewood (1007); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

How Flagstone changes with the light

Flagstone has a gentle warm undertone that keeps it from going cold in north-facing rooms, and it looks a touch warmer again in afternoon west light.

N

North-facing rooms

Flagstone's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.

E

East-facing rooms

Flagstone will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

S

South-facing rooms

Bright south light shows Flagstone close to its true color, slightly lighter and warmer.

W

West-facing rooms

Flagstone will glow warmer in the late afternoon.
