What color is Benjamin Moore Carriage Red?
Benjamin Moore Carriage Red CW-250 is a deep, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its low-light depth makes it especially effective on a dining room wall, front door, built-in cabinetry, or a small accent area where a stronger color can feel intentional. In direct daylight, Carriage Red reads as a muted red-brown; at night, it settles into a darker, more shadowed tone. Pair it with warm white trim, aged brass hardware, natural oak, leather, or charcoal-gray textiles to emphasize its rich, grounded character.

LRV of Carriage Red
Carriage Red has an LRV of 7.69% 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 7.69%, 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.
