What color is Benjamin Moore Vermilion?
Benjamin Moore Vermilion 2002-10 is a bold, saturated red with a clear warm cast and a subtle orange edge. Its medium-dark depth keeps it from reading like a primary crayon red, while the strong pigment gives walls and painted furniture immediate presence. In bright daylight, Vermilion appears lively and crisp; lower or warmer lighting can make it feel deeper and more earthy. Use it on a dining room accent wall, a lacquered cabinet, or a front door where a concentrated hit of color makes sense. Creamy whites, charcoal, black metal, and warm oak provide grounded contrast without competing with this shade.

LRV of Vermilion
Vermilion has an LRV of 15.26% 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 15.26%, 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.
