Benjamin Moore

Bordéaux Red

1365

Bordéaux Red is a deep burgundy with a clear violet undertone. An LRV of 9.32 places it among the darkest values, so it reads dense and saturated on full walls. It is suitable for dining rooms, libraries, or focal areas that need a dark red-violet.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Simply White and Edgecomb Gray for light balance, and with Hale Navy or Hunter Green for contrast; Mauve Mist or Pink Damask can soften the transition.

Bordéaux Red 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.
