What color is Benjamin Moore Cherry Burst?
Benjamin Moore Cherry Burst CSP-1200 is a saturated, medium-deep red with a distinct berry-pink cast. Its color value, #9F233D, gives it more cool raspberry depth than an orange-leaning brick or tomato red. In warm light, Cherry Burst reads fuller and more crimson, while cooler daylight can bring forward its wine-like magenta edge. It makes a confident choice for a powder room, dining-room accent wall, painted interior door, or statement cabinetry. Pair it with soft off-whites, charcoal, warm wood, aged brass, or deep green accents to give the red room to stand out.

LRV of Cherry Burst
Cherry Burst has an LRV of 10.79% 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 10.79%, 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.
