What color is Benjamin Moore Chili Pepper?
Benjamin Moore Chili Pepper 2004-20 is a medium-deep red with a softened, slightly muted presence rather than a bright primary-red intensity. Its balanced red base keeps it from reading noticeably orange or blue, giving the color a direct, grounded look. In bright daylight, Chili Pepper appears clearer and more energetic, while lower light brings out its richer, darker side. Use it on a dining room wall, a front door, or built-in cabinetry where a concentrated hit of color feels appropriate. Crisp white trim, charcoal, warm wood, black hardware, and natural linen all give this shade a clean, considered backdrop.

LRV of Chili Pepper
Chili Pepper has an LRV of 13.44% 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 13.44%, 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.
