I’m a sucker for a good greige; I don’t care if the trends say it’s outdated or not. I like what I like. And let me tell you—Stonehenge Greige PPG1024-5 is not your basic, flat, “builder beige” kind of shade. Nope. This one’s got layers. It’s saturated, it’s sophisticated, and it has just the right amount of depth to make people ask, “Wait, what color is that?” (in a good way).

This rich, gray-golden greige with almond undertones is bold enough to stand out yet neutral enough to blend in with others. And with an LRV of 34, we’re talking about a mid-toned color that isn’t here to disappear into the background.

Let’s break this down, shall we?

The Undertones of Stonehenge Greige

Here’s where it gets fun (and slightly nerdy). Stonehenge Greige has that almond undertone that gives it warmth without veering into yellow or muddy territory. Think of it as the greige that has been to finishing school; it’s polished, balanced, and a little posh.

• Primary base: Greige (a gray + beige mix)
• Undertone: Almond with a golden tint
• Effect: Cozy, inviting, stylish without trying too hard

This undertone makes Stonehenge Greige more versatile than cooler grays that can look sterile or too blue.

Lighting Matters: How Stonehenge Greige Shifts Throughout the Day

Like all great paint colors, Stonehenge Greige has a personality that changes depending on lighting. Here’s how it behaves in different exposures:

• North-facing rooms: The light here is cooler, so expect Stonehenge Greige to lean a bit grayer. It still won’t feel icy thanks to that almond undertone, but you’ll notice a more muted effect.
• South-facing rooms: This is where Stonehenge Greige glows. The golden undertones come forward, giving the walls a warm, rich, enveloping vibe.
• East-facing rooms: Morning light makes it look slightly warmer and cozier, while in the afternoon, it tones down and reads more neutral.
• West-facing rooms: The late afternoon sun will pull forward that golden warmth in a way that feels extra inviting—perfect for dining rooms or spaces where you entertain in the evenings.

The LRV of 34: What Does That Mean?

If you’re not fluent in paint-speak, all LRV (Light Reflectance Value) means is that it measures how much light a paint color reflects. It’s on a scale of 0–100, with 0 being pure black and 100 being pure white.

• Stonehenge Greige’s LRV of 34 = medium depth. It’s not light and airy, but it’s not dark and cave-like either. Think: a solid middle ground that brings depth and drama without overwhelming a space.

If you’re painting a smaller room, just keep in mind that it won’t bounce a ton of light around—but paired with good lighting, it can feel wonderfully sophisticated.

What Trim Colors Pair with Stonehenge Greige?

Greige loves company, and the right trim can make this shade sing.

• Classic crisp white: PPG Delicate White or Sherwin Williams Pure White. Perfect if you want contrast and a timeless look.
• Soft warm white: PPG Gypsum or Benjamin Moore White Dove. Keeps the palette softer and warmer.
• Deep trim for drama: Try a soft black or charcoal like PPG Black Magic if you want that moody, modern vibe.

Final Thoughts

Stonehenge Greige is basically that one friend who can hang out at a dive bar or sip martinis at a rooftop lounge. Adaptable, elevating, and fits in anywhere. What I’m really saying is I’m that friend. Seriously, though, if you want a greige that has depth, warmth, and style, this one deserves a serious spot on your shortlist.

But—and this is a big but—always sample before committing. Colors shift depending on your lighting, your flooring, and even your décor. Paint swatches online (or even those little chips at the store) can only take you so far. A large peel-and-stick sample is the way to go. Unfortunately, Samplize doesn’t carry PPG colors yet, which is a bit of a bummer. For now, you’ll need to grab a sample pot or swatch directly from PPG to see how Stonehenge Greige performs in your space.

Quick Recap for My Skimmers (I see you)

• Stonehenge Greige PPG1024-5 = saturated gray-golden greige with almond undertones.
• LRV 34 = medium depth, cozy, and sophisticated.
• Shifts slightly depending on lighting (cooler north, warmer south).
• Gorgeous with crisp white trim, soft whites, or even black for drama.
• Perfect for entries, living rooms, bedrooms, and exteriors.
• Always sample first (and sadly, no Samplize option for PPG yet)

So, what do you think—are you ready to let Stonehenge Greige work its magic in your home?
