What color is Benjamin Moore Paper Lantern?
Benjamin Moore Paper Lantern CSP-1150 is a richly saturated red with a warm, earthy cast that sits between brick red and burnt terracotta. Its medium-dark depth gives it enough weight for a dining room, powder room, or front door, where the color can feel grounded rather than overly bright. In strong daylight, Paper Lantern shows its clear red character, while evening light draws out a deeper, more subdued rust tone. Pair it with warm whites, natural linen, walnut, aged brass, or matte charcoal for contrast. It makes the strongest statement on an accent wall, cabinetry, or exterior trim rather than across a large, low-light room.

LRV of Paper Lantern
Paper Lantern has an LRV of 13.64% 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 13.64%, 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.
