Benjamin Moore

Melon Popsicle

2016-50

Melon Popsicle (2016-50) is a pastel orange with creamy yellow undertones and a trace of peach warmth. With an LRV of 70.66, it reflects a considerable amount of light while maintaining enough pigment to register distinctly as orange rather than neutral. The yellow undertone keeps it from leaning too heavily toward pink, giving it a warm apricot quality.

It pairs well with Butter Pecan 2165-70 for a tonal warm combination, Tropical Dusk 2117-40 for deeper contrast, Ivory White 925 as a complementary off-white trim, and Mosaic Tile 1517 to introduce a cooler accent.
