Benjamin Moore

Lyons Red

CC-68

Lyons Red is a bold, cool-leaning red with an LRV of 12.54, making it a deep, low-reflectance color that absorbs a significant amount of light. Blue undertones within the base push it toward cherry rather than tomato or brick, and in certain lighting conditions a faint violet cast may emerge. Coverage typically requires multiple coats due to its pigment density.

It pairs cleanly with White Dove or Chantilly Lace for sharp trim contrast, and stands up well against Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal. Warmer accent tones in the rust or terracotta family provide a grounded complement.
