What color is Benjamin Moore Santa's Suit?
Benjamin Moore Santa's Suit 1336 is a medium-deep red with a muted berry cast, giving it more restraint than a bright primary red. Its #BC4550 value reads as richly saturated without becoming overly dark, making it especially effective for a front door, dining room accent wall, or painted built-ins. In strong daylight, this shade can show a clearer rosy-red character, while lower light brings out its deeper, wine-like side. Pair Santa's Suit with warm white trim, pale oak, aged brass, or charcoal details for contrast. It can also bring welcome color to a powder room or kitchen island when the surrounding finishes are kept simple.

LRV of Santa's Suit
Santa's Suit has an LRV of 15.76% 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 15.76%, 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.
