What color is Benjamin Moore New London Burgundy?
Benjamin Moore New London Burgundy HC-61 is a muted, mid-deep burgundy with a dusty red cast and a gently softened brown-gray base. Its #754B4E value keeps the color from reading overly bright, giving it a grounded, slightly weathered look on walls. In daylight, New London Burgundy can show more of its restrained red character, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper, earthier side. It suits dining rooms, studies, powder rooms, and front doors where a substantial color is wanted without the sharpness of a true crimson. Pair it with warm off-whites, charcoal, aged brass, walnut wood, or natural linen for a composed, material-rich scheme.

What are Benjamin Moore New London Burgundy undertones?
New London Burgundy reads as a deep, muted red with a noticeable pink-red cast rather than a bright primary red. Its low-brightness, moderate-saturation character gives it a softened, grounded appearance. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a distinguished deep red with brown undertones,” which aligns with the color’s visibly subdued red family and helps explain why it can appear less sharp or ruby-like than a cleaner red. Warm artificial light may bring forward its red and brown-leaning warmth, while cool daylight can make the muted pink-red aspect more noticeable.

LRV of New London Burgundy
New London Burgundy has an LRV of 9.82% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 9.82%, 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.
