Benjamin Moore

Rouge

2084-30

Rouge carries an LRV of 17.56, placing it in the darker range where substantial light absorption occurs. It reads as a strong, saturated pink with dominant red undertones that intensify under warm artificial lighting. In cooler daylight, a slight blue-red shift may appear.

The depth of this color means it will noticeably reduce perceived room size. Benjamin Moore Forest Green creates direct complementary contrast, while Coral Gables and Hot Lips extend the warm red family. White Dove and Cloud White are functional choices for trim and ceilings to offset the color's density.
