Benjamin Moore

Tawny Day Lily

2012-10

Tawny Day Lily (2167-10) is a bold orange-red from Benjamin Moore with strong warm undertones leaning toward true orange. At an LRV of 18.5, it absorbs a considerable amount of light, producing a saturated, high-chroma appearance on walls. The orange base becomes more apparent under natural daylight, while the red component holds steady in incandescent lighting.

It coordinates well with Coral Gables, Autumn Cover, Nimbus Gray, Hale Navy, and Revere Pewter from the same Benjamin Moore line, functioning as an accent alongside cooler or muted companions.

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.
