About Rose Parade
Rose Parade (2086-20) is a very dark, bold red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 14, Rose Parade 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 Rose Parade'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. Next to Drop Dead Gorgeous (1329), it's darker and warmer.
How Rose Parade changes with the light
Rose Parade is a deep color. In north-facing or dim rooms it reads darker and cozier; in south-facing rooms it shows more of its color. Either can work, depending on the mood you want.
North-facing rooms
Rose Parade will read even deeper in north light: great for a cozy, enveloping room, less so if you want it bright.
East-facing rooms
Rose Parade will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Rose Parade can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Rose Parade will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
