Benjamin Moore

Beaujolais

1259 / HC-65

Beaujolais is a deep red with purple-brown undertones that keep it muted. Its LRV of 11.02 indicates low reflectance, so it reads dark and dense on walls. Warm light brings out the brown note slightly.

It is suitable for dining rooms, libraries, or accent walls where a deep red is needed. Pair it with White Dove and Cloud Cover for light balance, and add Salamander or Hale Navy for contrast.
