What color is Benjamin Moore Pomegranate?

Benjamin Moore Pomegranate AF-295 is a deep, muted red with a subtle berry-brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its medium-dark value gives walls a close, enveloping look, while the restrained saturation helps it feel more livable than a clear crimson. In daylight, Pomegranate reads as a softened wine red; under warm evening light, its earthy depth becomes more noticeable. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, library, powder room, or a single accent wall, and can also bring character to painted cabinetry. Pair it with warm ivory, putty beige, dark walnut, aged brass, or charcoal for contrast.

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 10.14%, 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.
