What color is Benjamin Moore Blazing Orange?

Benjamin Moore Blazing Orange 2011-20 is a vivid red-orange with a strong, sun-warmed presence. Its high saturation makes it read as energetic and bold, especially in bright daylight, while lower evening light can bring out its deeper red side. Use it on a front door, dining room accent wall, painted stool, or a run of lower cabinetry where a concentrated hit of color feels intentional. Crisp white trim sharpens its intensity, while pale woods, warm brass, charcoal, and deep navy give it useful contrast. Because this shade has so much visual weight, it is often most effective on smaller surfaces or paired with quieter surrounding walls.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 21.65%, 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.
