About Raspberry Pudding
Raspberry Pudding (2004-30) is a very dark, bold red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 19, Raspberry Pudding 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 Raspberry Pudding'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 Berry Wine (2003-30), it's cooler and more muted.
