What color is Benjamin Moore Bull's Eye Red?
Benjamin Moore Bull's Eye Red 2002-20 is a vivid, high-impact red with a clear warm cast and substantial saturation. Its #D93E3C color value reads as a bright red rather than a dark wine or brick tone, so it brings immediate definition to a room. Use it on a front door, dining-room chairs, a painted island, or a single accent wall where its intensity has room to stand out. Crisp white trim gives the shade a graphic edge, while charcoal, black, and natural oak create a more grounded contrast. In strong daylight, Bull's Eye Red can appear especially clean and lively; lower evening light may make it feel deeper and more concentrated.

LRV of Bull's Eye Red

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 18.33%, 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.
