What color is Benjamin Moore Louisiana Hot Sauce?

Benjamin Moore Louisiana Hot Sauce CC-124 is a deep, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. The color reads warm and moderately muted, landing somewhere between aged brick and dark terracotta. In direct daylight, its red-orange character becomes clearer, while lower or warmer light can bring out its richer, more shadowed brown-red side. Louisiana Hot Sauce makes a strong choice for a dining room, powder room, front door, or accent wall, and it can give cabinetry a substantial, painted-furniture look. Pair it with creamy off-whites, sandy beige, warm wood tones, black metal, or natural leather for contrast that feels considered rather than overly sharp.

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 10.77%, 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.
