Finding a Behr Equivalent for Stone House

To find a good Behr match, we need a color that captures not just the right depth (LRV 24.55) but also that specific undertone character. That is where Delta E color science comes in.
We calculated the perceptual color distance between Stone House 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 Moth Gray (PPU18-13) with a Delta E of 4.4, which is a "good match" level match. Moth Gray is warmer. You will want to test a sample before committing, as the difference may be noticeable in certain lighting.

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.

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.
