Benjamin Moore

Burnt Russet

42

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.
