Valspar

Blaze Orange

1008-1A

Blaze Orange is a strong red-orange with a hot coral undertone. It is unapologetic. Try it on an entry door, stool, or powder room feature where high energy is welcome.

On walls, it will dominate quickly and warm every white around it. Pair with cream, deep teal, or charcoal for control. Warm bulbs can push it redder at night, so test after sunset.

Blaze Orange 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.
