Benjamin Moore

Paper Lantern

CSP-1150

Paper Lantern is a saturated, warm red from Benjamin Moore with an LRV of 13.64, placing it firmly in the low-reflectance range. Its deep red tone carries strong visual weight and reads as bold on walls, making it a practical option for dining rooms or accent applications where a focal point is needed. To offset its intensity, pairing with Simply White or Chantilly Lace provides clean contrast.

Warmer mid-tones like Alexandria Beige and Cedar Key help transition the eye, reducing abruptness between Paper Lantern and lighter surrounding surfaces.
