Benjamin Moore

Barberry

1244

Barberry is a dusty red-violet with warm undertones that keep it muted. Its LRV of 27.66 gives it mid-range depth, so it reads darker on large walls. Warm light pushes the color toward more red.

It is suitable for dining rooms or accent walls where a muted red-violet is needed. Pair it with Chantilly Lace and Gray Owl for light balance, and add Mauve Mist or Kendall Charcoal for contrast.

Barberry in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
