What color is Benjamin Moore Fire Dance?
Benjamin Moore Fire Dance 2171-20 is a deep, sunbaked red with clear orange undertones and an earthy clay-like cast. Its substantial saturation gives it presence without reading as a bright primary red. In strong daylight, Fire Dance can show more of its warm orange-red character, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its richer, slightly browned depth. It makes a confident choice for a dining room, powder room, front door, or a single fireplace wall. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, natural oak, terracotta tile, and dark bronze or black metal for a grounded, material-driven look.

LRV of Fire Dance
Fire Dance has an LRV of 17.7% 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 17.7%, 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.
