Carriage Red
There is more to Benjamin Moore Carriage Red (CW-250) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. Its LRV of 7.7 gives it real visual weight, allowing the color to hold a wall rather than simply recede from view. 6 sourced room photos offer a closer look at the color in lived-in settings.
