What color is Benjamin Moore Ruby Dusk?
Benjamin Moore Ruby Dusk 1267 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its low-saturation finish reads like a weathered wine or dried-berry tone, with just enough warmth to feel comfortable on large surfaces. In daylight, Ruby Dusk can appear softer and more earthen, while lower light draws out its shadowy red depth. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, library, powder room, or an accent wall behind natural wood furniture. Pair it with warm off-whites, charcoal, aged brass, walnut, or cognac leather for a layered, material-rich look.

LRV of Ruby Dusk
Ruby Dusk has an LRV of 8.61% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.61%, 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.
