What color is Benjamin Moore Dark Salmon?
Benjamin Moore Dark Salmon 2009-30 is a vivid coral-red with a clear warm cast and enough depth to hold its own on a full wall. Its #E75A50 color value reads as a lively mix of red and orange, rather than a muted or dusty salmon. Bright daylight brings out its cheerful coral character, while lower or warmer light can make it appear richer and more red-forward. Use it for a dining room, powder room, front door, or painted accent wall where a strong dose of color feels appropriate. Dark Salmon pairs especially well with warm white trim, pale peachy neutrals, natural oak, rattan, and brushed brass.

LRV of Dark Salmon
Dark Salmon has an LRV of 24.87% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 24.87%, 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.
