Benjamin Moore

Exotic Red

2086-10

Exotic Red is a bold, saturated red that leans slightly cool rather than purely warm. With an LRV of 11.94, it absorbs significant light and will darken a room noticeably, making supplemental lighting advisable. It is best applied to accent walls or contained areas such as dining rooms where a strong focal point is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy for a deep tonal combination, White Dove to offset its intensity, or Edgecomb Gray for a muted ground. Gypsy Love and Million Dollar Red work as analogous companions.
