About Cherokee Brick
Cherokee Brick (2082-30) is a very dark, medium-strength red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 12, Cherokee Brick absorbs most light. It creates a dramatic, enveloping look and suits accent walls, cabinetry and well-lit rooms.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Cherokee Brick's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for accent walls, front doors, cabinetry and powder rooms. It's very close to Barrett Brick (CW-350); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

South-facing rooms
In strong south light Cherokee Brick can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.

Cherokee Brick will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
