What color is Benjamin Moore Ruby Red?
Benjamin Moore Ruby Red 2001-10 is a saturated, medium-deep red with a direct, clear appearance. Its #CA2C2C color value gives it enough intensity to hold its own on a front door, dining room wall, or painted cabinet base. In bright daylight, Ruby Red reads crisp and energetic; under softer evening lighting, it takes on a darker, more grounded look. Pair it with warm white trim, charcoal gray, black accents, or natural oak to give the red a defined setting. Brushed brass hardware and cream-toned textiles can soften its strong color presence without dulling it.

LRV of Ruby Red
Ruby Red has an LRV of 15.9% 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 15.9%, 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.
