Benjamin Moore

Orange Sky

2018-10

Orange Sky by Benjamin Moore is a strong yellow-orange with an LRV of 44.19, placing it in the mid-reflectance range. The pronounced yellow undertone gives it a distinctly warm, amber-leaning quality that separates it from red-based oranges. It functions as an accent color in living rooms and kitchens where a concentrated warm focal point is desired.

Sunny Yellow and Tangerine extend the analogous warm palette, while Deep Space and Blue Lagoon provide direct cool contrast. White Dove and Classic Gray work as neutral companions on trim and ceiling surfaces to contain its visual intensity.
