What color is Benjamin Moore Poppy?
Benjamin Moore Poppy 1315 is a medium-deep red with a slightly softened, rosy cast rather than an orange-leaning scarlet. Its strong saturation gives it real presence, making it especially effective on a front door, dining room accent wall, powder room, or painted cabinet island. In bright daylight, Poppy reads as a clear, lively red, while lower or warmer light brings out its deeper, more grounded side. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal, natural oak, or aged brass for contrast that keeps the color from feeling overly sharp. On larger walls, use it where a bold red is welcome; for a smaller dose, it has plenty of impact on millwork, shelving, or a single statement piece.

LRV of Poppy
Poppy has an LRV of 14.78% 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 14.78%, 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.
