Benjamin Moore

Burnt Russet

Burnt Russet is a dark red with brown and orange undertones. An LRV of 12.25 makes it quite dark and best for feature walls or lower-light rooms. It works in dining rooms, libraries, or spaces that need a grounded red.

Use Benjamin Moore White Dove or Creamy White to lift adjacent surfaces. Hidden Falls or Hale Navy supply cooler contrast. In north-facing light, the undertone stays cool and the shade can read deeper.

Burnt Russet 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.
