What color is Benjamin Moore Geranium?
Benjamin Moore Geranium 1307 is a medium, warm red with a softly muted, earthy cast rather than a sharp primary-red intensity. Its #C14C45 color value shows a red base tempered by subtle orange-brown warmth, giving it weight and presence on a wall. In bright daylight, Geranium can read clearer and more animated, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper, clay-like side. Use it for a dining room, powder room, front door, or a single accent wall where a strong color is welcome. Creamy off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal, and deep olive make grounded companions for this shade.

LRV of Geranium
Geranium has an LRV of 16.21% 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 16.21%, 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.
