Benjamin Moore

Shy Cherry

2007-20

Shy Cherry is a deep orange-red with an LRV of 13.68, placing it firmly in the low-reflectance range where it absorbs most ambient light. The hex #AE4138 reveals a red base with clear warm orange undertones, giving it more heat than a pure crimson. In dimmer settings, it can appear darker and more burgundy.

Benjamin Moore Hale Navy creates a high-contrast complementary pairing that sharpens the red. Night Train works as a deeper tonal accent in the same warm spectrum. Monroe Bisque and Muslin offer lighter neutral wall options that let Shy Cherry function as a controlled focal element.
