What color is Benjamin Moore Flamenco?
Benjamin Moore Flamenco CSP-1195 is a deep, saturated red with a clear crimson cast and a subtle berry-like depth. Its strong color presence makes it especially effective on a dining room wall, a powder room, or a front door where a darker red can feel intentional rather than overwhelming. In bright daylight, Flamenco reads as a lively, clean red, while lower light brings out its richer, more shadowed character. Pair it with warm white trim, black metal hardware, walnut, or aged brass to emphasize its depth. For a quieter application, use this shade on cabinetry, a bookcase back, or an upholstered accent piece rather than across every wall.

LRV of Flamenco
Flamenco has an LRV of 10.81% 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 10.81%, 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.
