What color is Benjamin Moore Dragons Blood?
Benjamin Moore Dragons Blood CW-320 is a deep, earthy red with pronounced terracotta-orange warmth. Its muted richness keeps it from reading as a bright primary red, giving the color a grounded, clay-like character. In strong daylight, Dragons Blood can show more of its warm orange-red side, while lower light emphasizes its darker, burnished depth. It makes a confident choice for a dining room, study, front door, or built-in cabinetry, especially when paired with creamy off-whites, warm wood, aged brass, and natural linen. For a more graphic look, use this shade against charcoal accents or dark stained oak.
LRV of Dragons Blood
Dragons Blood has an LRV of 13.39% 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 13.39%, 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.
