Calypso Orange

2015-30

Calypso Orange is a saturated orange with warm undertones. Its LRV of 36.96 makes it a mid-tone that reads bold. It is best for accent walls, kitchens, or creative spaces where high chroma is desired.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Cloud White for a light neutral. Blue Danube, Caribbean Blue Water, or Coral Gables add contrast or adjacent warmth. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
