Bourbon Street

1257 / HC-62

Bourbon Street is a dusty wine color with red undertones. Its LRV of 19.43 makes it a dark value that reads rich on full walls. It suits dining rooms, living rooms, or accent areas where a muted wine tone is appropriate.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Warm Sienna and Spanish Red for warm coordination, and with Gray Owl or Ocean Air for cooler contrast; Soft Pumpkin or Warm Tan can bridge the red-brown range.

Bourbon Street 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.
