What color is Benjamin Moore Creamy Orange?
Benjamin Moore Creamy Orange 2166-50 is a light, softened peach-orange with a creamy, sun-warmed cast. Its #F1C5A0 color value gives it gentle warmth without the intensity of a bright citrus orange, making it better suited to broad wall areas than a highly saturated hue would be. In daylight, Creamy Orange reads as a pale peach, while warmer artificial light can bring forward its orange notes. It is a natural fit for breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, powder rooms, or a kitchen accent wall where a little color is welcome. Pair it with soft ivory trim, pale natural wood, woven rattan, and muted terracotta or dusty green details for a grounded palette.

LRV of Creamy Orange
Creamy Orange has an LRV of 59% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 59%, 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.
