Benjamin Moore

Flame

2012-20

Flame is a strong orange-red with a clear red base and minimal brown influence. With an LRV of 21.46, it absorbs most light and reads bold and concentrated. The color maintains clarity without drifting into rust.

It is generally used on accents or in rooms intended to feel enclosed. It balances well with Benjamin Moore neutrals such as Simply White and Pale Oak. Cooler contrasts like Hale Navy or Black Forest Green deepen the palette, while related warm tones such as Golden Honey maintain temperature consistency.
