Which should you pick

Rules of thumb computed from the LRV and Lab values in the table above; no room test was done.

Pick Stucco (SW 7569) for a small room or a north-facing room, because it is 39.4 LRV points lighter (63 vs 23.6), so it bounces back more of the limited light
Pick Stone (BM 2112-40) for a south-facing room, because its Lab b* is 1.9 against 12.1, so it is the cooler of the two and offsets warm direct sun
Pick Stucco (SW 7569) to warm a north-facing room, because it is the warmer of the two (Lab b* 12.1), which counters cool indirect light
