Benjamin Moore

14 Carrots

CSP-1110

14 Carrots by Benjamin Moore is a saturated, warm orange with yellow-red undertones that lean toward burnt amber rather than bright tangerine. With an LRV of 26.21, it falls on the lower end of the mid-tone range, so it will read noticeably dark on large wall surfaces and is generally more effective as an accent. It works on feature walls, doors, or cabinetry in kitchens and playrooms where a strong color statement is intended.

Spice Gold and Suntan Yellow provide analogous warmth nearby, while Sea Star or Evening Dove offer cooler contrast. White Dove on trim helps the orange register cleanly.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
