Benjamin Moore

Flamenco

CSP-1195

Flamenco is a vivid red with a subtle blue undertone that cools the overall hue. Its very low LRV of 10.81 makes it one of the darkest reds in use. The blue influence prevents it from reading orange under warm light.

It is typically reserved for feature walls or limited surfaces. It pairs strongly with deep neutrals such as Black Beauty or Midnight Oil. Softer balances include White Dove and Ballet White, while Guilford Green or French Beret add controlled color contrast.

Flamenco 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.
