What color is Benjamin Moore Tricycle Red?
Benjamin Moore Tricycle Red 2000-20 is a vivid, medium-deep red with a subtle cool, rosy cast rather than an orange-red base. Its high saturation gives it a crisp, graphic presence on a front door, painted furniture, or a single accent wall. In warm daylight, it reads as a clear, energetic red, while cooler light can bring out its faint berry-pink undertone. Use it with warm white trim, pale oak, black metal, or charcoal for contrast, or pair it with muted blush and dusty blue for a more layered palette. On cabinetry or a small powder room, this shade has enough depth to feel deliberate without becoming overly dark.

LRV of Tricycle Red
Tricycle Red has an LRV of 17.38% 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 17.38%, 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.
