What color is Benjamin Moore Drop Dead Gorgeous?
Benjamin Moore Drop Dead Gorgeous 1329 is a medium-deep raspberry red with a softened, rosy cast rather than a sharp true-red finish. Its #BB4254 color value gives it noticeable saturation, while a muted undertone keeps it from reading overly bright on large walls. In daylight, this shade can show its berry character more clearly; under warm evening bulbs, it tends to look richer and redder. It makes a strong choice for a powder room, dining room, painted front door, or a single accent wall behind a bed. Pair Drop Dead Gorgeous with warm white trim, pale blush textiles, walnut, brass, or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Drop Dead Gorgeous
Drop Dead Gorgeous has an LRV of 15.32% 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 15.32%, 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.
