What color is Benjamin Moore Bricktone Red?

Benjamin Moore Bricktone Red 2005-30 is a medium-depth, muted red with a softly weathered look rather than a bright, primary-red intensity. Its near-equal red, green, and blue balance gives it a subtle gray cast, while the dominant red keeps the overall impression warm. In daylight, this color can read as an earthy clay red; under warmer evening bulbs, it may appear deeper and more enveloping. Use Bricktone Red on a dining room wall, a painted front door, or built-in cabinetry where a grounded color can carry visual weight. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, charcoal accents, natural oak, aged brass, or blackened metal.

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 14.37%, 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.
