Benjamin Moore

Tangerine Melt

Tangerine Melt (Benjamin Moore) is a bold, medium-depth orange with warm undertones and an LRV of 34.95, making it a moderately reflective color with high saturation. It reads as a clean, direct orange without significant red or yellow skew. For contrast pairings, Benjamin Moore Hale Navy and Iron Mountain introduce cool, dark counterpoints.

Golden Straw provides an analogous warm step, and Terra Cotta Tile offers a deeper, more muted earth-tone relative. Blue Hydrangea can serve as a cooler mid-tone complement to offset the warmth.

Tangerine Melt 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.
