Benjamin Moore

Fiery Opal

Fiery Opal is a bold color with rich orange-red undertones that produce a warm, saturated appearance. It registers an LRV of 15.57, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of light and reads as a deeper tone on the wall. The orange base is dominant, with the red undertone adding density and warmth.

This color functions well as an accent wall treatment or in dining rooms where a strong focal point is needed. Recommended pairings include Benjamin Moore's Newburyport Blue, Hale Navy, Golden Straw, Roseate, and Chantilly Lace.
