Benjamin Moore

Hot Spice

2011-30

Hot Spice is a saturated orange with noticeable red undertones that add warmth and energy to its appearance. With an LRV of 27.33, this color reflects moderate light while maintaining strong saturation, making it suitable for accent walls, kitchens, or spaces where a warm focal point is desired. The red influence keeps the orange from appearing too yellow or citrus-toned.

This shade coordinates well with Benjamin Moore's Van Deusen Blue for complementary contrast, Soft Fern for a cool balance, Golden Straw for tonal warmth, Simply White for clean trim, and Chantilly Lace for bright contrast.
