Benjamin Moore

New London Burgundy

HC-61

New London Burgundy by Benjamin Moore is a deep red with distinct brown undertones that give it a muted, wine-like quality rather than a bright or primary red appearance. With an LRV of 9.82, it is a low-reflectance color best suited for dining rooms, libraries, and accent walls where a dark, concentrated finish is appropriate. The brown influence prevents it from reading as purely red, grounding the tone in a darker register.

It works well alongside Benjamin Moore White Dove, Pale Oak, Hale Navy, Deep Rose, and Audubon Russet for both lightening contrast and warm tonal continuity.
