What color is Benjamin Moore Burnt Peanut Red?
Benjamin Moore Burnt Peanut Red 2081-10 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable rosy cast rather than an orange or brick-red direction. Its #A14048 value gives it moderate saturation and enough darkness to read as grounded on a full wall, especially in dining rooms, libraries, or powder rooms. In brighter light, the red appears clearer and slightly more berry-toned, while lower light brings out its shadowy, wine-like depth. Use Burnt Peanut Red on cabinetry, a painted fireplace surround, or an accent wall alongside soft ivory, warm gray, charcoal, and natural oak. Brass hardware, aged leather, and dark-stained wood give this shade a particularly cohesive setting.

LRV of Burnt Peanut Red
Burnt Peanut Red has an LRV of 12.41% 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 12.41%, 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.
