Benjamin Moore

Greenhow Vermillion

CW-340

Greenhow Vermillion is a deep red with warm undertones that lean slightly toward orange rather than blue or purple. With an LRV of 14.58, this is a dark, saturated color that works best on accent walls, in dining rooms, or in libraries where its bold presence can be balanced by lighter elements. It coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove for contrast, Ballet White for a softer neutral, Kendall Charcoal for depth, and Hale Navy for a rich complementary pairing.
