Benjamin Moore

Dragons Blood

CW-320

Dragons Blood is a dense, deep red with warm undertones that carry noticeable brown and orange characteristics. Its LRV of 13.39 confirms it as a low-reflectance color that will darken a room substantially. It functions well on accent walls and in dining rooms or studies.

For high contrast, pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Simply White. Hampshire Gray provides a neutral complement, while Hale Navy or Essex Green can be used alongside it in a deeper, coordinated scheme.
