Benjamin Moore

Red Oxide

2088-10

Red Oxide blends red, brown, and orange pigments into a dense, clay-like tone at hex #964333, with an LRV of 11.38. This low reflectance means it absorbs most ambient light and reads as a heavy, grounded color that recedes less than cooler darks but still darkens a room noticeably. The brown content tempers the red, preventing it from reading as overtly warm.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Revere Pewter lighten the palette without clashing, while Hale Navy introduces a cool counterpoint. Kendall Charcoal deepens the scheme, and muted terracotta tones from the same line maintain earthy continuity.

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.
