What color is Benjamin Moore Somerville Red?
Benjamin Moore Somerville Red HC-62 is a muted, medium-depth red with a dusty rose cast and a subtle warmth. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading as bright red, giving walls a grounded, lived-in look. In daylight, the color can show more of its rosy clay character, while lower light brings out its deeper, earthier red base. Somerville Red suits a dining room, powder room, or front door, and it can also make an effective accent on cabinetry or built-ins. Pair it with warm off-whites, weathered wood, aged brass, charcoal accents, or soft gray-green textiles for contrast.

LRV of Somerville Red
Somerville Red has an LRV of 19.43% 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 19.43%, 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.
