Benjamin Moore

Orange Nectar

2013-20

Orange Nectar by Benjamin Moore is a bold, deep orange with warm red-leaning undertones and an LRV of 23.22, indicating low light reflectance. This makes it a high-impact color best applied to accent walls or contained areas in kitchens, dining rooms, or creative workspaces rather than entire rooms. The red shift distinguishes it from brighter, yellower oranges in the line.

White Dove and Simply White help balance its intensity on trim, while Hale Navy and Black Forest Green provide deep complementary contrast. Yellow Marigold can bridge transitions in adjacent spaces.
