About Autumn Red
Autumn Red (2087-40) is a deep, medium-strength pink from Benjamin Moore. With an LRV of 38, Autumn Red absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Autumn Red's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms and accent walls. It's very close to Radiant Rose (1327); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

North-facing rooms

South-facing rooms
In strong south light Autumn Red can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Autumn Red will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
