Benjamin Moore

Sunset Boulevard

82

Sunset Boulevard is a saturated orange with red undertones that give it weight and intensity. An LRV of 40.5 places it on the darker side of mid-range colors. It is best used in controlled applications such as feature walls or creative spaces.

The undertone prevents it from appearing overly bright. It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace and Shelburne Buff, while Newburyport Blue and Rainforest Dew provide contrast.

Sunset Boulevard in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
