Benjamin Moore

Brick Red

2084-10

Brick Red is a deep earthy red with warm undertones. Its LRV of 8.54 indicates very low reflectance, so it reads dark and dense on walls. It is suited to dining rooms, accent walls, or exterior doors where a strong red is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Manchester Tan for warm contrast, and with Essex Green or Hale Navy for deeper counterpoints; Terra Cotta Tile can keep the palette within red-brown.
