Benjamin Moore

Outrageous Orange

2013-10

Outrageous Orange by Benjamin Moore is a high-saturation orange with clear red undertones that push it toward a warm, fiery register. Its Light Reflectance Value of 20.06 places it in the lower range, meaning it absorbs considerable light and reads as a strong, concentrated hue on walls. It functions well as an accent in kitchens, living rooms, or creative studios where a pronounced warm focal point is appropriate.

The red undertone adds density and prevents it from appearing too yellow. It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore's Newburyport Blue, Aegean Teal, Yellow Lotus, White Dove, and Classic Gray, providing both complementary contrast and neutral grounding.
