What color is Benjamin Moore Redstone?

Benjamin Moore Redstone 2009-10 is a saturated, warm red with a clear orange-leaning cast that keeps it bright rather than wine-dark. Its strong color presence makes it especially effective on a front door, dining room wall, painted island, or a single run of cabinetry. In direct daylight, Redstone reads lively and crisp; lower evening light can give it a deeper, more grounded appearance. Pair it with creamy off-whites, soft greige, charcoal, or natural oak to give the red room to stand out. Black metal hardware, brick, terracotta tile, and warm brass are particularly compatible materials for this shade.

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 16.37%, 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.
