Milano Red

1313

Milano Red is a mid-value red with a noticeable pink undertone created by its blue-red bias, setting it apart from orange-leaning or brick reds. With an LRV of 23.53, it reflects a moderate amount of light for a red, keeping it from appearing overly heavy on large surfaces. The pink cast is most visible in bright, cool-toned lighting.

Within the Benjamin Moore line, it coordinates with Calm (OC-22) and Cascade Mountains (862) for lighter contrast, while Beach Glass (1564) and Kendall Charcoal (HC-166) offer complementary and grounding pairings respectively.

Milano 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.
