What color is Benjamin Moore St. George Red?
Benjamin Moore St. George Red CW-245 is a muted, medium-deep red with earthy brown and subtle clay undertones. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading as a bright primary red, giving walls or cabinetry a grounded, lived-in presence. It suits a dining room, library, powder room, or front door, especially alongside warm white trim, aged brass, dark wood, and natural linen. In brighter light, the red becomes more apparent, while lower light brings out its deeper, dusky quality.

LRV of St. George Red
St. George Red has an LRV of 14.14% 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 14.14%, 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.
