Finding a Valspar Equivalent for Fieldstone
If you love Benjamin Moore Fieldstone but need a Valspar 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 Valspar, 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 Valspar 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 Valspar 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 good news: there is a strong Valspar match for Fieldstone. Warm Pewter (VR084F) comes in with a Delta E of 2.1, which puts it in the "excellent match" range. Warm Pewter is the closest Valspar option at LRV 40. Very close match.

Undertone Comparison
Fieldstone has 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.
Warm Pewter has warm pewter gray undertones. A warm, pewter-toned gray. Named for the warm quality of aged pewter. Between Gravity and Tempered Gray in depth.
The undertone difference is worth paying attention to. While they are close in overall appearance, the different undertones mean they may diverge in certain lighting. Fieldstone's cool green-gray quality may read differently than Warm Pewter's warm pewter gray character, especially in rooms with strong directional light or colored accents that could pull out one undertone more than the other. Test a sample in your specific room before committing.

Very close match. 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. Warm Pewter is a Valspar color with warm pewter gray undertones and an LRV of 40. With a Delta E of 2.1, the difference is subtle and mainly visible in direct side-by-side comparison. 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 2.1, these colors are close enough to use in separate rooms of the same house without a jarring difference. However, avoid painting them on adjacent walls in the same room, as even subtle differences become apparent at a hard edge where two paints meet. For the smoothest result, use one brand consistently within each connected space and reserve the other brand for rooms that are visually separated.
There are several practical reasons to look for a Valspar equivalent. Price differences between brands can be significant on large projects. Availability matters if your nearest paint store or home center specializes in Valspar. Some painters have strong preferences for one brand's formula based on coverage, dry time, or workability. And if you are touching up existing Valspar work, matching within the same brand gives you the best consistency for seamless results.
