Benjamin Moore

Bonfire

2001-20

Bonfire is a strong red with a persimmon undertone that pushes it toward orange. The LRV of 17.28 makes it a dark, high-chroma color that reads bold in most lighting. It can be used on accent walls, dining rooms, or creative spaces where a saturated warm red is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Heron and Simply White for light contrast, and with Hale Navy or Black Beauty for depth; Tangerine or Deep Ochre can keep the range warm.
