What color is Benjamin Moore Arroyo Red?
Benjamin Moore Arroyo Red 2085-10 is a deep, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its muted intensity gives walls a substantial presence, especially in dining rooms, libraries, entryways, or small powder rooms. In strong daylight, the red reads more clearly, while lower or warmer light can bring forward its darker, clay-like character. Arroyo Red pairs well with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, aged brass, walnut, and natural leather. Use it across all four walls when the room has good light, or reserve it for cabinetry, a fireplace surround, or a front door for a concentrated hit of color.

LRV of Arroyo Red
Arroyo Red has an LRV of 7.37% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
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 7.37%, 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.
