Benjamin Moore

Pomegranate

AF-295

Pomegranate from Benjamin Moore is a deeply saturated red with strong berry undertones and an LRV of 10.14, placing it firmly in the low-reflectance range. The hue leans toward cool red-violet rather than warm orange-red, giving it a dense, concentrated appearance on walls. It functions effectively as a dining room color, accent wall treatment, or library feature in both traditional and contemporary settings.

White Dove provides necessary contrast for trim, Manchester Tan offers a warm neutral balance, Hale Navy creates a strong complementary pairing, Charcoal Slate adds tonal depth, and Shaker Beige softens adjacent surfaces.
