What color is Benjamin Moore Sultan's Palace?
Benjamin Moore Sultan's Palace 2081-20 is a deep, muted red with a rosy cast and a noticeable earthy warmth. Its medium-dark value gives walls presence without reading as a bright primary red. In daylight, Sultan's Palace can show more of its softened raspberry-red character, while warm evening light tends to draw out its dusky, brick-like depth. It suits a dining room, powder room, or library accent wall, and can bring weight to painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair this shade with warm ivory, soft taupe, dark walnut, aged brass, or charcoal for a grounded palette.

LRV of Sultan's Palace
Sultan's Palace has an LRV of 15.11% 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 15.11%, 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.
