Burnt Peanut Red

2081-10

Burnt Peanut Red is a brick red with warm brown undertones. Its LRV of 12.41 puts it in the very dark range, so it reads dense and saturated. It is often used on accent walls, dining rooms, or entry spaces where a strong red is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan and White Dove for balance. Hale Navy or Salamander add cooler contrast. In north-facing light, the undertone stays cool and the shade can read deeper.
