Give this sample a clear job
Sample Benjamin Moore Stone Hearth 984 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle warm stone color beyond the palest greiges . Stone Hearth is lighter than Pashmina but deeper than Smokey Taupe, offering a specific step within a stony neutral shortlist.
Why the travertine and walnut furniture relationship matters
Travertine and walnut already add texture and weight, so the wall should keep their shapes readable in shade.
Stone Hearth has an LRV of 48.45; Benjamin Moore Pashmina AF-100 is 44.2. The difference is 4.25 points, with Stone Hearth returning more light under the reference measurement.
Keep the comparison fair
Use Stone Hearth and Pashmina to clarify the sampling choice against travertine and walnut furniture. Keep the sample edges touching the fixed material, and cover one color before judging the other. Near-neutrals can look noticeably different side by side; the final choice still needs to work on its own. Record the specific relationship you prefer, such as a clearer trim outline or a quieter connection to the floor.
Approve the actual coating and the least favorable view
Read the stone and wall in shade; preserve a visible boundary where two substantial neutrals meet. The undertones and neighboring colors covers that related choice.
Keep the approved dried board with the complete Benjamin Moore 984 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
