Benjamin Moore

Racing Orange

2169-10

Racing Orange by Benjamin Moore is a fully saturated, high-chroma orange with strong warm undertones. It has an LRV of 20.07, indicating that it absorbs most light and reads as a bold, concentrated color on any surface. Due to its intensity, it functions best on accent walls or focal elements in playrooms, home offices, or creative workspaces rather than as a full-room application.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore Old Navy for a deep cool contrast, Hunter Green for a complementary scheme, Golden Honey for an analogous warm transition, and Coral Gables for a softer tonal step within the same warm range.
