Benjamin Moore

Autumn Red

2087-40

Autumn Red is an intense pink with strong red undertones and an LRV of 38.41, which places it in a moderately bright range that still carries visual weight on a wall. The color reads warm under most lighting conditions and can shift slightly more coral in south-facing rooms. It holds enough saturation to function as a primary wall color without appearing washed out.

Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal provide grounding contrast on trim or adjacent surfaces, while Tissue Pink offers a lighter tonal bridge and Silver Half Dollar contributes a cool neutral counterpoint.
