Benjamin Moore

Barn Red

ES-22

Barn Red by Benjamin Moore is a deep, brownish red with noticeable black undertones that push it toward a dark oxblood tone. At an LRV of 29.06, it absorbs a significant amount of light, making it better suited for exterior woodwork, accent trim, or limited interior applications where a dark, grounded red is wanted. It is part of the Woodluxe stain line, so it is primarily intended for wood surfaces such as siding, fences, and outbuildings.

White Dove or Simply White can offset its weight on adjacent trim, while Black Forest Green and Tate Olive sit comfortably alongside it in rustic or farmhouse exteriors. Sequoia provides a tonal companion when a slightly different dark value is needed nearby.

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.
