Benjamin Moore

Rhubarb

2007-30

Rhubarb is a warm, mid-depth red with slight brown undertones that prevent it from appearing overly bright or artificial. Its LRV of 17.28 indicates low light reflectance, meaning it absorbs most ambient light and will darken a room considerably. The warmth in this red leans it toward brick and terra cotta territory rather than crimson.

White Dove and Edgecomb Gray help offset its density when used on adjacent surfaces. Terra Cotta Tile and Cameo Pink provide analogous warmth, while Hale Navy introduces a complementary cool contrast that sharpens the red tones.

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.
