Benjamin Moore

St. George Red

CW-245

St. George Red is a deep, muted red grounded by pronounced brown undertones that keep it from reading as bright or primary. Its LRV of 14.14 places it in the low-reflectance range, absorbing most ambient light and creating a dark, enclosed feel on walls.

The brown cast intensifies under warm lighting, and it functions best on accent walls rather than full-room application. Benjamin Moore White Dove and Gray Owl offer necessary lightness for trim, Shaker Beige provides a warm neutral bridge, and Alexandria Beige or Hale Navy work as supporting palette anchors.
