Benjamin Moore

Spanish Red

1301 / CC-92

Spanish Red is a deep, earthy red with prominent orange undertones and an LRV of 12.6, which means it absorbs a significant amount of light and produces a heavy visual weight on walls. The orange influence prevents it from reading as a cool or berry-toned red, keeping it firmly in the warm spectrum. It deepens further under low or incandescent lighting.

For controlled pairings, use Lenox Tan or Manchester Tan to temper its intensity, White Dove for clean trim separation, and Audubon Russet or Copper Clay to build a cohesive warm-toned scheme.

Spanish 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.
