Red

2000-10

Red (#C92E2E) is a saturated, full-spectrum red with minimal brown or blue deviation, registering an LRV of 14.23. At this reflectance level, it absorbs a substantial amount of light and will visually advance in a room, making surfaces feel closer. The hue reads consistently warm under incandescent light and can shift slightly cooler under fluorescent sources.

Benjamin Moore White Dove or Simply White offer strong value contrast when used on adjacent trim. Pale Oak introduces a warm neutral transition, while Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy provide deep-toned anchoring in a broader scheme.
