Benjamin Moore

Neon Red

2087-10

Neon Red is a saturated, high-chroma red with cool blue undertones that pull it toward crimson rather than orange-red. With an LRV of 12.51, it absorbs most light and reads as a deep, concentrated red in standard conditions. The blue undertone keeps it from appearing warm or brick-like, giving it a cleaner, cooler cast than earth-toned reds.

It coordinates with the neutral White OC-151 and the soft Whitestone 2134-60 for a restrained palette, or with the warm White Dove OC-17 and the deep blue Van Deusen Blue HC-156 for added depth.

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.
