Benjamin Moore

Dark Walnut

1358

Dark Walnut is a deep wine red with pronounced violet undertones that give it a layered, complex appearance. It has an LRV of 9.56, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a dark, saturated tone on walls. The violet shift distinguishes it from straightforward reds and lends it a slightly cooled edge.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Manchester Tan, Secret Garden, and Hale Navy. This color is typically used on accent walls or in smaller rooms where its depth can be fully appreciated.

Dark Walnut 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.
