Benjamin Moore

Carriage Red

CW-250

Carriage Red is a deep red with warm undertones and high saturation. An LRV of 7.69 indicates very low reflectance, so it reads bold and dark on large surfaces. It can be used on doors, accent walls, or exterior details where a strong color is required.

Benjamin Moore White Dove or Edgecomb Gray provide light contrast. Hale Navy, Salamander, or Wind's Breath round out a traditional palette.
