About Pumice Stone
Pumice Stone (1197) is a very dark, medium-strength red from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 14, Pumice Stone absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Pumice Stone's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for accent walls, front doors, cabinetry and powder rooms. It's very close to Giant Sequoia (2094-30); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
How Pumice Stone changes with the light
Pumice Stone is a deep color. In north-facing or dim rooms it reads darker and cozier; in south-facing rooms it shows more of its color. Either can work, depending on the mood you want.
North-facing rooms
Pumice Stone will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Pumice Stone will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Pumice Stone can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Pumice Stone will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
