What color is Benjamin Moore Rhubarb?
Benjamin Moore Rhubarb 2007-30 is a medium, muted red with a clear warmth and enough grayness to keep it from reading overly bright. Its #BE4E4E value gives it a grounded brick-red appearance rather than a crisp primary red. In strong daylight, Rhubarb can look clearer and more energetic, while lower or warmer lighting tends to bring out its deeper, earthier side. It makes a confident choice for a dining room, powder room, front door, or a single accent wall, and can also give cabinetry a rich burst of color. Pair it with soft warm whites, natural oak, aged brass, charcoal, or creamy stone finishes for a balanced palette.

LRV of Rhubarb
Rhubarb has an LRV of 17.28% 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 17.28%, 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.
