Wall color

14 years ago

Julie you mentioned in a previous post that the wall color is a custom reformulation of Benjamin Moore's Aura Stone. Can you please explain what that means? Did you alter the standard BM "Stone" color to look different? I really love the color you used and want to use the same exact color in my house. Thank you

yes the original color was changed, her formula lists 05% so I am not sure what this means, but only use the stone color as a starting point.

what exactly is changed? I LOVE this color! It is exactly what I am looking for for my bathroom. How do I tell them to alter it? Thank you!

Maybe it means that the color value is 05% darker than their original formula.... you can go lighter and darker inside a color for more or less depth of color.... the computer at BM will do this no problem.
