What color is Benjamin Moore Strawberry Red?
Benjamin Moore Strawberry Red 2003-20 is a clear, saturated red with a medium-dark depth and little visible shift toward orange, purple, or brown. Its direct red character makes a strong statement on a front door, dining room accent wall, or painted cabinetry. In bright daylight, Strawberry Red reads cleaner and more energetic, while lower light brings out its deeper, more grounded side. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, or use charcoal, black, natural oak, and warm brass to give the color a tailored look. Because of its intensity, this shade is especially effective on smaller focal areas or in rooms where red is meant to be the main visual element.

LRV of Strawberry Red
Strawberry Red has an LRV of 15.53% 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 15.53%, 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.
