Benjamin Moore

Persian Melon

117

Persian Melon by Benjamin Moore is a mid-toned orange with soft peach undertones that moderate its saturation and give it a muted, approachable warmth. At an LRV of 50.97, it sits near the middle of the reflectance scale, providing enough brightness for living rooms, kitchens, or dining areas without excessive intensity. The peach influence rounds off the orange, making it read gentle rather than bold.

Cool blues such as Benjamin Moore's Palladian Blue and Georgian Green offer effective contrast pairings, while Honeybell and Sunset Glow extend its warm tonal range, and Edgecomb Gray serves as a grounding neutral.
