What color is Benjamin Moore Iron Ore Red?

Benjamin Moore Iron Ore Red 2089-10 is a deep, earthy red with a softened clay-like cast rather than a bright, primary-red intensity. Its warm undertone reads somewhere between weathered brick and muted terracotta, giving the color substantial presence without looking overly sharp. In direct daylight, the red becomes clearer and slightly more animated, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out its brownish, grounded depth. Use it on a dining room wall, a powder room, or painted cabinetry where a saturated color can anchor the room. Creamy off-whites, warm taupes, aged brass, natural oak, and dark brown leather provide especially cohesive companions.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 16.24%, 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.
