What color is Benjamin Moore Claret Rose?
Benjamin Moore Claret Rose 2008-20 is a clear, saturated red with a noticeable warm coral cast. Its mid-depth value keeps it bright enough to feel energetic on a feature wall, while the red base gives it enough weight for painted cabinetry or a dining room. In strong daylight, Claret Rose can read fresher and more orange-red; at night, it tends to appear deeper and richer. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and brushed brass for a grounded contrast. For a sharper palette, use charcoal accents or deep blue-gray furnishings to offset its warmth.

LRV of Claret Rose
Claret Rose has an LRV of 19.16% 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 19.16%, 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.
