Benjamin Moore

New Dawn

133

New Dawn by Benjamin Moore is an intense, high-saturation orange with warm undertones that lean toward the yellow-orange range. Its LRV of 39.16 places it at a moderate reflectance level, meaning it will appear bold without absorbing excessive light. This makes it functional in kitchens, dining areas, and creative workspaces where an energetic wall color is desired.

The warmth is consistent and does not shift toward red or brown under most lighting conditions. It works alongside Benjamin Moore Caliente, Golden Straw, Chantilly Lace, White Dove, and Sienna Clay for combinations ranging from warm-toned harmony to sharp contrast.

New Dawn in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
