About Prairie Lily
Prairie Lily (CC-98) is a deep, bold red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 20, Prairie Lily 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 Prairie Lily'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. It's very close to Rust (2175-30); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
