Benjamin Moore

Tangerine Dream

2012-30

Tangerine Dream (Benjamin Moore) is a medium orange with a noticeable reddish cast and an LRV of 28.31, placing it in the lower-mid reflectance range. The red undertone shifts this away from pure orange toward a coral-adjacent hue, especially under warm artificial lighting. It pairs with Benjamin Moore Gentleman's Gray and Hale Navy for high-contrast cool complements, while Golden Straw and Pumpkin Spice provide analogous warm neighbors.

White Dove or Simply White supply a clean neutral backdrop that keeps the orange-red hue clearly defined.
