What color is Benjamin Moore Aniline Red?

Benjamin Moore Aniline Red 1350 is a medium-depth red with a rosy berry cast, sitting between classic red and muted raspberry. Its noticeable pink-blue influence keeps the color from reading orange, while the overall red base still gives it warmth and presence. In bright daylight, Aniline Red can look clearer and more spirited; lower or warmer light tends to bring out its deeper wine-like side. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, powder room, painted front door, or an accent wall behind a bed. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal, dusty blush, dark walnut, brass, or natural linen for contrast that lets the red remain the focus.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 13.68%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
