Benjamin Moore

Laurentian Red

CC-152 / 1302

Laurentian Red is a muted, earthy red grounded by noticeable brown undertones that pull it away from a true red and toward a warm, subdued brick tone. With an LRV of 10.84, it reads quite dark and absorbs a significant amount of light, making it best suited for spaces with ample natural or artificial illumination. It pairs well with neutrals like Revere Pewter or Shaker Beige, gains depth alongside Hale Navy or Salamander, and can be balanced with a clean trim in Simply White.

Laurentian Red 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.
