Benjamin Moore

Picante

Picante is a strong orange with a clear red undertone that increases warmth and intensity. Its LRV of 28.36 puts it in the mid-depth range, so it will stay bold under most interior lighting. It’s most practical for accent walls, dining areas, or creative spaces rather than whole-house use.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace for crisp trim and Revere Pewter to temper the saturation. For adjacent warm hues, Yellow Finch or Terra Cotta Tile keep it within the same temperature range.
