What color is Benjamin Moore Dinner Party?
Benjamin Moore Dinner Party AF-300 is a deep, muted red with a wine-like cast and a softly browned, low-saturation finish. Its depth gives walls a grounded presence, while brighter daylight brings out more of its red tone; in evening light, it can read as a dark, shadowy burgundy. Use it in dining rooms, studies, powder rooms, or on cabinetry where a richer color can hold its own. Dinner Party pairs well with warm off-whites, charcoal gray, walnut, aged brass, and natural linen for a layered, lived-in look.

LRV of Dinner Party
Dinner Party has an LRV of 8.43% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.43%, 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.
