What color is Benjamin Moore Vintage Wine?
Benjamin Moore Vintage Wine 2116-20 is a deep, muted red-violet with a distinctly smoky, gray-brown cast. Its low-light depth makes it read almost like softened charcoal in shadow, while brighter light brings out the restrained wine and plum notes in the color. It is a strong choice for a dining room, library, or powder room where darker walls can create a grounded backdrop without looking sharply black. Vintage Wine pairs well with warm ivory trim, faded blush textiles, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen. On cabinetry or a single accent wall, this shade has enough depth to hold its own against pale stone and light wood finishes.

What are Benjamin Moore Vintage Wine undertones?
Vintage Wine is a deep, very muted brownish taupe. The HEX sample has a subtle pink-red bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear pink-red. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Vintage Wine
Vintage Wine has an LRV of 8.2% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect 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 8.2%, 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.
