What color is Benjamin Moore Neon Red?
Benjamin Moore Neon Red 2087-10 is a deeply saturated red with a clear, slightly blue-leaning cast that keeps it from reading orange. Its mid-dark value gives it real visual weight, especially on a single wall, a front door, or painted furniture. In bright daylight, Neon Red appears crisp and energized; lower light can bring out its darker crimson side. Pair it with clean white trim, charcoal, black metal, or pale natural wood to give the color definition. For a smaller dose, it is especially effective on cabinetry, shelving backs, or an accent ceiling.

LRV of Neon Red
Neon Red has an LRV of 12.51% 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 12.51%, 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.
