Benjamin Moore

Geranium

1307

Geranium is a saturated crimson with noticeable orange undertones that add dimension and warmth to its red base. With an LRV of 16.21, this is a deeper color that absorbs more light, making it appropriate for accent walls or dining rooms where a bold statement is desired. The orange component prevents the red from reading too cool or flat.

This shade coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's Simply White, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Autumn Cover, providing options for both neutral grounding and complementary pairings.

Geranium 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.
