A deep red paint in a higher gloss heightens the drama – sending a signal of color confidence. Deep reds we love include Dinner Party AF-300 and violet-tinged reds like Raisin Torte 2083-10 and New London Burgundy HC-61.

What kind of spaces does it work best in?

From Benjamin Moore: "It is an excellent color for a space used to host elegant dinner parties and other festive events and occasions."

Where could you expect to see it?

While it reads as traditional on exteriors and front doors, this shade is just a touch goth in exteriors and brings a swirling intensity with it. I could see it in an elegant nightclub or an avant-garde French pastry shop.

Who shouldn't pick this color?

If you're looking for something sunny or calming, this wouldn't be the right shade for you.

Any pro tips?

What colors does it go well with?

What's the LRV?

6.36. LRV measures the Light Reflectance Value, meaning the percentage of light (0-100) that bounces off a surface. 100 being purest white and 0 being purest black. Like other dark reds, Dinner Party has a low LRV, meaning it reflects a low amount of light.

Does it work as an exterior color?

Yes, this is great shade for front doors and home exteriors.
