Ryan Red

1314

Ryan Red is a saturated mid-value red with a noticeable orange shift, carrying an LRV of 17.75 that gives it moderate depth while retaining enough chroma to read as distinctly red rather than burgundy. Under warm lighting the orange undertone becomes more apparent, while cooler light sources pull it toward a truer red. It demands careful use on large surfaces due to its intensity.

It works alongside Benjamin Moore White Dove for high-contrast trim, Ballet White for softer transitions, Hale Navy for complementary opposition, Hawthorne Yellow for analogous warmth, and Salamander as a grounding dark green accent.

Ryan Red in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
