What color is Benjamin Moore Fresno?
Benjamin Moore Fresno 020 is a warm coral paint with a clear salmon-orange cast and enough softness to keep it from reading overly bright. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color while still allowing a room to feel open, especially in daylight. In cooler light, Fresno may look a little rosier, while warm bulbs bring forward its peachier orange notes. It suits a dining room, powder room, or sunlit kitchen accent wall, and can also add character to painted furniture or a front door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm natural wood, terracotta tile, or muted blue-green accents for contrast.

LRV of Fresno
Fresno has an LRV of 31.94% 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 31.94%, 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.
