Benjamin Moore

Vivid Beauty

138

Vivid Beauty from Benjamin Moore is a medium-saturation orange with soft melon undertones that temper its warmth. At an LRV of 54.1, it falls in the mid-range of reflectance, providing noticeable color presence without absorbing excessive light. The melon cast distinguishes it from pure oranges, pulling it toward a peach-adjacent territory while retaining clear orange identity.

Suitable companion colors from Benjamin Moore include Deep River, Polo Blue, Golden Straw, Coral Gables, and White Dove, which offer options ranging from cool-toned contrast to warm analogous continuity across a given palette.
