Benjamin Moore Moroccan Red 1309 is a deep, earthy red with a muted brick-like cast rather than a bright, clear crimson. Its #A84342 color value gives it substantial saturation, balanced by a softened, slightly brownish appearance that keeps it grounded. In direct daylight, Moroccan Red can read as a warm red; lower or evening light draws out its darker, more subdued side. Use it for a dining room, a study, a front door, or an accent wall where a concentrated dose of color feels appropriate. It pairs naturally with warm white trim, charcoal accents, aged brass, dark wood, and tan leather.
