Benjamin Moore

Cantaloupe

157

Cantaloupe is a light orange with a faint pink undertone. Its LRV of 71.33 keeps it in the light range. It works in kitchens, dining areas, or playrooms that can handle a warm tint.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Simply White to keep the palette light. Peach Parfait, Coral Gables, or Hale Navy provide adjacent warmth or contrast. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.

Cantaloupe in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
