Benjamin Moore

Patriot Red

2080-20

Patriot Red is a deep red with subtle blue undertones that cool its overall temperature. An LRV of 11.58 places it firmly in the dark range, giving it strong visual weight. It is best used in controlled applications such as accent walls or dining spaces.

The undertone prevents it from appearing orange. It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace and Stonington Gray, while Bravado Red or Dinner Party create layered red-based schemes.
