What color is Benjamin Moore Tomato Red?
Benjamin Moore Tomato Red 2010-10 is a clear, saturated red with a noticeable warm orange cast. Its #D7402B color value gives it a lively mid-depth presence: bright and energetic in daylight, then fuller and slightly more grounded under evening lighting. Use Tomato Red on a front door, kitchen island, painted chairs, or a single dining-room wall where its intensity can be appreciated without overwhelming the room. Crisp warm whites sharpen the color, while charcoal, deep navy, natural oak, and aged brass provide handsome contrast. On larger walls, plenty of natural light and quieter surrounding finishes help this shade feel deliberate rather than dominant.

LRV of Tomato Red
Tomato Red has an LRV of 17.4% 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 17.4%, 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.
