Benjamin Moore

Santa's Suit

1336

Santa's Suit is a saturated red with a slightly warm bias that reads as a strong, concentrated hue on large surfaces. Its LRV of 15.76 indicates substantial light absorption, meaning it will appear even darker in rooms without adequate natural light. The warmth in its base prevents it from reading as cool or berry-toned, holding steady as a true red under most lighting conditions.

Chantilly Lace provides sharp contrast as a trim white, while Million Dollar Red and Merlot Red allow for tonal red schemes. Hale Navy works as a balancing complement on adjacent walls or built-in elements.

Santa's Suit 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.
