Benjamin Moore

Mayflower Red

HC-49 / 1196

Mayflower Red (HC-49) is a rust-toned mid-dark color from Benjamin Moore's Historical Collection with an LRV of 17.37. The hue blends red, orange, and brown, with noticeable warm sienna undertones and a muted earthiness that keeps it from reading as bright red. It sits firmly in the warm, grounded portion of the spectrum.

Benjamin Moore's own coordinating palette pairs it with Simply White (OC-117) for clean trim, Manchester Tan (HC-81) as a warm neutral wall complement, Mayonnaise (OC-85) for a softer off-white option, and Cedar Key (OC-16) for tonal continuity.
