Ruby Red
Benjamin Moore Ruby Red (2001-10) carries the measured structure of its color data and the less predictable beauty of paint in a finished space. Its pink and red classifications hint at the directions it may take as daylight, lamps and neighboring colors move around it. The manufacturer's description below offers one reading; the room imagery leaves space for your own.
