What color is Benjamin Moore Segovia Red?
Benjamin Moore Segovia Red 1288 is a medium-depth, muted red with a clear warmth and an earthy cast. Its #9B4B49 color value gives it a softened, slightly weathered appearance rather than the intensity of a bright primary red. In sunny rooms, Segovia Red can read warmer and more terracotta-leaning, while lower light brings out its deeper, grounded red character. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, powder room, front door, or an accent wall behind wood furniture. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, charcoal gray, aged brass, dark walnut, or olive-toned textiles for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Segovia Red
Segovia Red has an LRV of 13.16% 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 13.16%, 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.
