Benjamin Moore

Covered Bridge

CC-126 / 1203

Covered Bridge is a muted red carrying noticeable orange and brown undertones, which pull it toward an earthy, subdued register rather than a bright or saturated one. With an LRV of 16.81, it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a warm, enveloping tone suited to dining rooms or accent walls. The red base remains present but tempered, giving it a grounded quality.

It pairs naturally with Alexandria Beige and Lenox Tan to reinforce its warmth in a tonal scheme. For sharper contrast, Hale Navy or Essex Green work well, while Indian White offers a quiet, softening balance.

Covered Bridge 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.
