What color is Benjamin Moore Tucson Red?
Benjamin Moore Tucson Red 1300 is a grounded, medium-deep red with a distinctly warm, earthy cast. Its muted quality keeps it from reading as bright or cherry-toned, instead leaning toward a clay-red appearance that feels substantial on a wall. In strong daylight, Tucson Red can show more of its red pigment, while evening light tends to bring out its deeper, brownish warmth. It makes a compelling choice for a dining room, powder room, front door, or painted accent wall, especially alongside creamy off-whites, charcoal, natural wood, and aged brass. Use this shade on cabinetry or millwork when you want color with more presence than a neutral but less intensity than a clear primary red.

LRV of Tucson Red
Tucson Red has an LRV of 14.43% 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 14.43%, 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.
