Benjamin Moore

Northern Fire

CC-94 / 1300

Northern Fire is an earthy red from Benjamin Moore with visible orange undertones that warm its base and reduce any tendency toward blue-red coolness. Its LRV of 14.43 means it absorbs considerable light and reads as a rich, saturated tone on walls, functioning best as an accent wall or focal element in rooms with sufficient lighting. Simply White and Chantilly Lace provide high-contrast trim pairings that let the red stand forward clearly.

Autumn Cover and Warm Sienna extend the warm earthy family as analogous options, while Hale Navy supplies a cool, deep counterpoint that balances the overall warmth.

Northern Fire 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.
