What color is Benjamin Moore Calypso Orange?
Benjamin Moore Calypso Orange 2015-30 is a clear, high-energy orange with a warm, sunlit cast and strong saturation. Its #FB8B3C color value gives it a bright mid-tone presence rather than a deep rust or muted terracotta look. In direct daylight, the color reads lively and crisp, while warmer evening light can bring out its softer, more golden side. Use Calypso Orange on a front door, breakfast nook wall, or a painted island where a concentrated hit of color feels intentional. It pairs well with clean white trim, pale sand tones, natural oak, woven textures, and deep blue accents for contrast.

LRV of Calypso Orange
Calypso Orange has an LRV of 36.96% 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 36.96%, 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.
