Finding a Behr Equivalent for Fieldstone
If you love Benjamin Moore Fieldstone but need a Behr alternative, you are not alone. This is one of the most common cross-brand paint matching searches, whether you are working with a painter who prefers Behr, your local store does not carry Benjamin Moore, or you simply want to compare prices across brands before committing.
Fieldstone (1558) is a medium-dark gray with cool green-gray undertones. A cool, clean mid-tone gray with subtle green undertones. More distinctly gray than a greige, cooler than most warm grays. Modern and clean with enough depth to feel substantial on a wall. To find a good Behr match, we need a color that captures not just the right depth (LRV 39.44) but also that specific undertone character. That is where Delta E color science comes in.
We calculated the perceptual color distance between Fieldstone and every Behr color using the CIE2000 Delta E formula, which measures how different two colors look to the human eye. A Delta E under 2 means most people cannot tell the colors apart. Between 2 and 4, you might notice a difference in certain lighting. Above 5, the difference is clearly visible side by side.
The results are decent but not perfect. The closest Behr option is Cathedral Gray (PPU18-14) with a Delta E of 4.4, which is a "good match" level match. Cathedral Gray is warmer. Fieldstone is cooler and greener. You will want to test a sample before committing, as the difference may be noticeable in certain lighting.

The closest Behr match for Fieldstone (1558) is Cathedral Gray (PPU18-14) with a Delta E of 4.4, which rates as a "good match" match. Cathedral Gray is warmer. Fieldstone is cooler and greener. Delta E measures perceptual color distance on a scale where under 2 means nearly identical, 2 to 4 means close with subtle differences, and over 5 means clearly noticeable.
No, they are not identical. Fieldstone is a Benjamin Moore color with cool green-gray undertones and an LRV of 39.44. Cathedral Gray is a Behr color with warm medium gray undertones and an LRV of 30. With a Delta E of 4.4, you will likely notice a difference, especially in bright or direct lighting. Paint formulations differ between brands, so even colors with similar values can look slightly different due to pigment concentration, binders, and finish.
With a Delta E of 4.4, the difference is enough that they should not be used on adjacent walls in the same room. You can use them in separate rooms of the same house, but be aware that walking from one room to the other may reveal the difference, especially if the rooms have similar lighting. For the most consistent look, pick one brand for all connected living spaces and reserve the other brand for visually separate rooms like bathrooms or bedrooms behind closed doors.
There are several practical reasons to look for a Behr equivalent. Price differences between brands can be significant on large projects. Availability matters if your nearest paint store or home center specializes in Behr. Some painters have strong preferences for one brand's formula based on coverage, dry time, or workability. And if you are touching up existing Behr work, matching within the same brand gives you the best consistency for seamless results.
