Benjamin Moore

Ruby Dusk

1267

Ruby Dusk reads as a muted, darkened red with noticeable brown undertones that pull it toward a subdued burgundy-brown range. At an LRV of 8.61, it absorbs significant light and will substantially darken a room, making it best suited for accent applications or smaller spaces. The brown content tempers sharpness in the red, giving it a grounded, earthy quality.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Kingsport Gray and Alexandria Beige for warm neutral pairings, while White Dove offers necessary lightness. Hale Navy provides a tonal companion at similar depth.

Ruby Dusk in Different Light
