What color is Benjamin Moore Patriot Red?
Benjamin Moore Patriot Red 2080-20 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable rosy cast that keeps it from reading as a pure primary red. Its medium-dark value gives it presence on a front door, dining room wall, or painted built-in without making every surface feel overly intense. In bright daylight, the shade can show more of its red character, while lower or warmer light emphasizes its softened berry undertone. Pair Patriot Red with creamy off-whites, charcoal, warm wood, aged brass, or black accents for contrast. It is especially effective as an accent color on cabinetry, trim, shutters, or a single focal wall.

LRV of Patriot Red
Patriot Red has an LRV of 11.58% 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 11.58%, 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.
