Benjamin Moore

Louisiana Hot Sauce

CC-124

Louisiana Hot Sauce is a deep, saturated red with strong orange undertones that push it toward burnt terracotta rather than pure crimson. With an LRV of 10.77, it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a bold, dense color in any setting. Pairing it with Chantilly Lace on trim provides the sharpest possible contrast and keeps the overall scheme from feeling heavy.

Golden Honey and Rust extend the warm range in complementary directions. Gray Owl or Soft Chamois serve as neutral buffers that soften the impact on adjacent surfaces.

Louisiana Hot Sauce 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.
