What color is Benjamin Moore Exotic Red?
Benjamin Moore Exotic Red 2086-10 is a bold, saturated red with a deep crimson body and a faint berry cast. Its intensity is clear on a full wall, where it creates a strong focal point rather than fading into the background. In bright daylight, Exotic Red reads lively and clean; under evening lamps, it settles into a darker, more dramatic red. Use it for a dining room, powder room, painted front door, or a statement cabinet finish. Crisp warm whites, charcoal, black, aged brass, and medium-toned wood give this color a grounded setting without competing with its depth.

LRV of Exotic Red
Exotic Red has an LRV of 11.94% 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 11.94%, 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.
