Benjamin Moore

Strawberry Red

2003-20

Strawberry Red is a classic warm red with strong saturation and minimal brown influence. An LRV of 15.53 places it firmly in the dark range, giving it visual weight and depth. It is best used as an accent or on limited surfaces in dining rooms, libraries, or statement areas.

The undertone stays warm without shifting orange. Strawberry Red pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Classic Gray for contrast, while Grant Beige, Guilford Green, and other warm neutrals help stabilize its intensity.
