What color is Benjamin Moore Autumn Orange?
Benjamin Moore Autumn Orange 2156-10 is a saturated, earthy orange with a noticeable golden-brown cast. Its depth keeps it from reading like a bright citrus shade; instead, it has the look of fired clay or warm leather in daylight. In sunlit rooms, Autumn Orange becomes clearer and more golden, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its richer, browned edge. Use it on a dining room accent wall, a powder room, or painted cabinetry where its strong color can hold its own. Creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal, and natural wood all give this shade a grounded setting.

LRV of Autumn Orange
Autumn Orange has an LRV of 24.15% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 24.15%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
