Give this sample a clear job
Sample Benjamin Moore French Toile CSP-595 beside the fixed finishes, in the intended orientation and under normal room lighting. The trial should settle a fabric-led blue with factual limits kept clear . French Toile's fabric-inspired description provides a design association, not a specification that guarantees a particular undertone in every room.
A faded rug contains several colors and values, so matching one blue detail should not override the palette of the rug as a whole.
Keep the comparison fair
Keep the French Toile sample broad enough to show its hue, with cream linen and a faded patterned rug beside it. Remove extra paint chips during the final review and restore the belongings that will remain. Approve the color on its own, rather than a preference that depends on an unchosen neighboring sample.
French Toile has an LRV of 42.8; Benjamin Moore Boothbay Gray HC-165 is 43.26. The difference is 0.46 points, with Boothbay Gray returning more light under the reference measurement.
The condition for keeping French Toile
Compare the paint to the rug's blue area without assuming that the color name guarantees a historic fabric match. The trim color comparison covers that related choice.
Keep the approved dried board with the complete Benjamin Moore CSP-595 product and finish specification. Follow the actual coating instructions for application, drying and preparation; the color name does not settle those requirements. The daylight and evening-light checks covers that related choice. Before ordering samples, compare room-planning features in the paint color visualizer roundup.
