What color is Benjamin Moore Mediterranean Spice?
Benjamin Moore Mediterranean Spice 1337 is a medium-depth red with a noticeable rosy cast, sitting between brick red and muted raspberry. Its #B04253 value gives it a warm, earthy presence, though the pink-red undertone can look a little cooler and clearer in north-facing light. Use Mediterranean Spice on a dining room wall, a powder room, or built-in cabinetry when the room needs more color than a neutral can provide. Creamy off-whites, soft blushes, walnut, aged brass, and deep charcoal all give this shade a grounded backdrop. In brighter rooms, this color reads more lively and red-forward; under lower, warmer lighting, it takes on a deeper, slightly wine-toned appearance.
LRV of Mediterranean Spice
Mediterranean Spice has an LRV of 14.83% 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 14.83%, 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.
