What color is Benjamin Moore Bonaparte?
Benjamin Moore Bonaparte CC-64 is a medium-deep red with an earthy, softened cast rather than a bright, primary-red look. Its balanced red-brown character gives walls noticeable depth, especially in dining rooms, libraries, or small powder rooms. In strong daylight, the red appears clearer; under warm evening lighting, it can read closer to weathered brick or dried clay. Bonaparte is especially effective on a front door, built-in cabinetry, or a single accent wall paired with warm white trim. Try it alongside natural oak, aged brass, charcoal, or creamy off-white fabrics for a grounded palette.

LRV of Bonaparte
Bonaparte has an LRV of 11.65% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 11.65%, 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.
