What color is Benjamin Moore Hot Tamale?
Benjamin Moore Hot Tamale CSP-1155 is a mid-depth red with a clear, grounded presence rather than a bright cherry finish. Its #A93434 color value reads as a slightly muted red, giving it enough richness for a dining room, powder room, or a front door. In strong daylight, Hot Tamale can look more energetic and defined, while lower light brings out its darker, more enveloping side. Use it on cabinetry or an accent wall with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, or black metal for contrast. For a quieter palette, pair this color with soft beige, creamy off-white, or charcoal gray.

LRV of Hot Tamale
Hot Tamale has an LRV of 12.52% 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 12.52%, 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.
