About Flower Crown
Flower Crown (2004-40) is a deep, bold red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 34, Flower Crown 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 Flower Crown's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for dining rooms, accent walls, front doors and libraries. Next to Radiant Rose (1327), it's darker.

West-facing rooms
