Valspar

Orange Fruit

2011-1

Orange Fruit is a saturated true orange with a golden base. Its high chroma belongs on a feature door, not every surface. Use it deliberately for a door or painted chair when the color should lead the scheme.

Crisp trim makes it very crisp. Medium wood softens the impact. Because the chroma is high, it can overwhelm a room quickly. Test it near flooring and fabrics before choosing a large area.

Orange Fruit 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.

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.
