Benjamin Moore

Mandarin Orange

2018-20

Mandarin Orange is a high-chroma, yellow-leaning orange that reads bright and saturated on any surface. Its LRV of 46.13 puts it in the mid-range for reflectance, meaning it holds strong color presence without absorbing too much ambient light. The dominant undertone is distinctly yellow rather than red, giving it a warmer, less aggressive character than a true red-orange.

Pair it with Yellow Finch or Sunburst to build a tonal warm scheme, or set it against Hale Navy or Black Forest Green for high contrast. Simply White or Chantilly Lace as trim will temper the intensity.
