Benjamin Moore

Arroyo Red

2085-10

Arroyo Red is a deep brownish-red with an LRV of 7.37, placing it firmly in the low-reflectance category where supplemental lighting is required to read surface texture. The hue carries strong earth-tone warmth with noticeable brown content that keeps it from reading as a pure red. It holds its color well under both warm and neutral white light sources.

Shaker Beige and Grant Beige are effective lighter companions for adjacent walls or trim. Hale Navy supplies a cool counterpoint, and Saybrook Sage or November Rain can soften the overall scheme.
