Benjamin Moore

Country Redwood

HC-183 / PM-16

Country Redwood is a deep burgundy with noticeable orange undertones that push it toward an earthy, warm red. With an LRV of 8.03, it absorbs most ambient light and reads as heavy and enveloping on walls. This makes it more appropriate for accent walls or smaller spaces like dining rooms where a dense, grounded atmosphere is the goal.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Ballet White offer lighter counterpoints that ease its intensity. Hale Navy provides a similarly dark but cooler contrast, while Chestertown Buff and Concord Ivory extend its warm, traditional character in a more restrained way.

Country Redwood 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.
