What color is Benjamin Moore Barberry?
Benjamin Moore Barberry 1244 is a muted, medium-depth rosy taupe with a soft, dusted appearance. Its red influence gives it a gentle warmth, while the subdued green and blue notes keep it from reading as a clear pink. In daylight, Barberry can look like a weathered rose-beige; under warmer bulbs, its blush cast becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and dining spaces where a colored neutral feels more interesting than plain beige. Pair it with warm white trim, oatmeal linen, walnut, aged brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Barberry
Barberry has an LRV of 27.66% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 27.66%, 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.
