What color is Benjamin Moore Mayflower Red?
Benjamin Moore Mayflower Red HC-49 is a muted, mid-depth red with a noticeable earthy brown cast. Its softened clay-like quality keeps it from reading as bright or primary, giving walls a grounded, substantial presence. In warm daylight, the color can show more of its russet warmth, while lower or cooler light brings forward its deeper brown-red side. Use it on a dining room wall, a front door, built-in cabinetry, or exterior shutters where a concentrated dose of color feels appropriate. Pair Mayflower Red with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, aged brass, natural oak, and charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Mayflower Red
Mayflower Red has an LRV of 17.37% 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 17.37%, 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.
