What color is Benjamin Moore Fireball Orange?
Benjamin Moore Fireball Orange 2170-10 is a concentrated, medium-deep orange with a clear earthy red cast. Its #C35232 color value gives it the look of fired clay or warm terracotta rather than a bright citrus orange. In direct daylight, the orange reads more clearly, while lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its deeper rust-red character. It has enough saturation to make a strong feature wall, painted front door, or dining room accent, but may feel intense across every wall in a small room. Pair Fireball Orange with creamy off-whites, charcoal, deep brown wood, black metal, or muted olive accents for contrast that keeps the color grounded.

LRV of Fireball Orange
Fireball Orange has an LRV of 18.89% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.89%, 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.
