The difference

Read from the numbers

Stonington Gray is the lighter of the two at LRV 59.36, 4.3 points above Revere Pewter at LRV 55.05. Revere Pewter leans warm where Stonington Gray reads cool. Revere Pewter is a beige, Stonington Gray a gray. For a whole room, Stonington Gray is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Revere Pewter is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Revere Pewter (HC-172) is Benjamin Moore's iconic greige — a warm gray-beige with a soft olive-green undertone. At LRV 55.5 it's slightly deeper than the popular Sherwin-Williams greiges, giving it more presence on a wall.

Stonington Gray is a light gray that Benjamin Moore describes as silvery, with relatively neutral undertones. On a wall it is cooler than that description suggests: a blue undertone shows in north-facing or cool light and relaxes in warm light. At LRV 59 it is light enough for a small room and gray enough to read as a color against white trim.
