What color is Benjamin Moore Currant Red?
Benjamin Moore Currant Red 1323 is a deep, muted red with a slightly berry-leaning cast rather than an orange or brick-red direction. Its medium-dark value gives it enough weight for a dining room, library, or powder room, especially when used on all four walls. In brighter light, the color reads as a clear red softened by its subdued saturation; lower light brings out its darker, wine-like depth. Pair it with warm white trim, dark walnut, aged brass, or charcoal textiles to keep the room grounded. For a smaller dose, Currant Red makes a strong choice for cabinetry, a painted interior door, or a fireplace surround.

LRV of Currant Red
Currant Red has an LRV of 11.9% 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 11.9%, 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.
