Benjamin Moore

Bonaparte

CC-64

Bonaparte is a deep warm red with orange undertones. With an LRV of 11.65, it reads dark and saturated, especially in low light. It works in dining rooms, entryways, or as an accent on walls where a stronger red is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Ballet White for lighter contrast, and with Hale Navy or Saybrook Sage for cool balance; Autumn Cover can extend the warm range.
