What color is Benjamin Moore Peruvian Chili?

Benjamin Moore Peruvian Chili CSP-1100 is a medium-depth burnt orange with a clear earthy brown cast, sitting somewhere between terracotta and weathered copper. Its warm, moderately saturated character gives walls noticeable color without reading as overly bright. In direct afternoon sun, it can show a livelier orange glow, while lower or north-facing light brings forward its deeper clay and spice tones. Use it in a dining room, entry, or on kitchen cabinetry for a grounded focal point, especially alongside creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, warm wood, and aged brass. On an exterior door or shutters, Peruvian Chili offers a substantial contrast against pale stucco, soft beige, or charcoal trim.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 23.13%, 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.
