Benjamin Moore

Tangerine Mist

129

Tangerine Mist (Benjamin Moore) is a light, desaturated orange with an LRV of 70.59, which places it in the high-reflectance range close to off-whites and pastels. Its undertone is a soft peach-yellow, reading as a tinted neutral rather than a strong chromatic orange. Benjamin Moore Soleil and Peach Parfait pair well as closely related warm pastels, while Evening Dove and Backwoods introduce darker, cooler contrasts.

Cloud White and Edgecomb Gray function as adjacent neutrals for trim and ceiling use, maintaining a low-contrast, tonal palette.

Tangerine Mist in Different Light
