What color is Benjamin Moore Bordéaux Red?
Benjamin Moore Bordéaux Red 1365 is a deep, muted red with a dusky plum cast, reflected in its #6C4551 color value. It reads more restrained than a bright crimson, with enough grayness to keep the color grounded on large wall surfaces. In strong daylight, its berry-red character is easier to see, while lower light lets it settle into a darker, wine-toned shade. Bordéaux Red can give a dining room, library, or powder room a close, enveloping feel, and it also has the depth for painted cabinetry or an accent wall. Pair it with soft warm whites, charcoal, aged brass, dark wood, or natural linen for contrast that does not compete with the color.

LRV of Bordéaux Red
Bordéaux Red has an LRV of 9.32% 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 9.32%, 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.
