What color is Benjamin Moore Garrison Red?
Benjamin Moore Garrison Red HC-66 is a muted, mid-depth red with a softened, earthy cast rather than a bright primary-red look. Its #8C5956 color value suggests a dusty red-brown character, with subtle warmth that can read richer in afternoon sun and more restrained under cooler artificial light. Use it on a dining room wall, powder room, front door, or built-in cabinetry when a grounded color statement is wanted without heavy saturation. Creamy off-whites, warm taupes, aged brass, dark wood, and natural linen give Garrison Red a cohesive setting. Against charcoal or deep brown accents, this shade can take on a more dramatic, heritage-inspired presence.

What are Benjamin Moore Garrison Red undertones?
Garrison Red is a midtone, muted red with a soft, earthy character and moderate saturation rather than a bright, sharp look. In the supplied digital color, it reads as a red with a slight warm yellow-brown bias, which gives it a restrained brick-rose appearance. Benjamin Moore describes it as having “muted yet balanced undertones,” a description that fits its visibly softened red main family without pointing to one dominant undertone. Warm artificial light may bring out its warmer brownish-red side, while cool daylight can make the red appear a little cleaner and less warm.

LRV of Garrison Red
Garrison Red has an LRV of 14.34% 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 14.34%, 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.
