Benjamin Moore

Tricycle Red

2000-20

Tricycle Red (BM) is a bright, warm red with a pinkish undertone that distinguishes it from deeper, blue-based reds. At a Light Reflectance Value of 17.38, it absorbs considerable light and reads as a strong, saturated hue on walls. The pink lean gives it a slightly lighter, more forward appearance than a true crimson.

Within Benjamin Moore's range, it works with White Dove and Chantilly Lace for crisp white contrast, Hale Navy for a deep blue complement, Forest Floor for a grounding dark green, and Coral Gables for a tonal warm pairing.
