Benjamin Moore Cochineal Red. Benjamin Moore color of the year for 2023.

Grown-up and glamorous, this aristocratic shade of deep red was created with red pigments available in the 18th century.


Cochineal Red is the perfect old world red paint color for a living room, goes great with white trim.

A clean, chic, typically Danish home is enlivened by painting a narrow hallway in a deep cochineal red, and using it to display the homeowner’s artworks. The colour is then echoed in the main space by a single red-lacquered Habitat cabinet. First featured in the June 2016 edition. Photographer Birgitta Wolfgang.
