Benjamin Moore

Orange Appeal

124

Orange Appeal from Benjamin Moore is a mid-toned, warm orange with moderate saturation and a slightly muted quality that keeps it from appearing overly vivid. Its LRV of 43.85 places it in the middle of the reflectance range, giving it enough brightness to avoid feeling heavy while registering as a definite color statement. It functions well on accent walls, in kitchens, and in dining spaces where warm energy is desired without overwhelming adjacent surfaces.

Orange Appeal works alongside Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy, Coventry Gray, White Dove, Simply White, and Weston Flax, balancing its warmth through cool contrast or neutral support.

Orange Appeal 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.
