What color is Benjamin Moore Cornwallis Red?
Benjamin Moore Cornwallis Red CW-315 is a rich, earthy red with a clear warm cast and a slightly muted, clay-like character. Its medium depth keeps it from reading as overly dark, while the #BD4638 tone brings enough color to make a strong statement on a dining room wall, front door, or painted built-in. In bright daylight, Cornwallis Red can appear more lively and sun-baked; under warm evening light, it takes on a deeper, more grounded look. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm beige, natural oak, aged brass, or blackened iron for a room that feels considered rather than overly formal.

LRV of Cornwallis Red
Cornwallis Red has an LRV of 15.44% 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 15.44%, 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.
