Benjamin Moore

Moroccan Red

1309

Moroccan Red (1309) is a deep, jewel-toned red from Benjamin Moore's Classic Color Collection, with an LRV of 12.87 that registers as decisively dark. Its brick-like quality comes from slight brown undertones, while a faint blue cast keeps the hue from tipping into pure orange-red. At this saturation and depth, it absorbs most available light and works best in rooms with ample natural illumination.

Consider pairing it with Sebring White (OC-137) or Deep in Thought (AF-30) for high contrast, or with Sabre Gray (1482) and Oat Straw (AF-340) for a more grounded palette.
