What color is Benjamin Moore Fruity Cocktail?
Benjamin Moore Fruity Cocktail 147 is a bright, sun-warmed orange with clear apricot and golden undertones. Its high saturation gives it a lively presence, especially in daylight, where it reads fresh and juicy rather than earthy. In lower or warmer artificial light, the color can appear deeper and more amber-orange. Use Fruity Cocktail on a breakfast nook wall, a painted front door, or the back of open shelving when the room needs a concentrated hit of color. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale sand tones, light oak, woven rattan, or deep teal accents for contrast.

LRV of Fruity Cocktail
Fruity Cocktail has an LRV of 42.39% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 42.39%, 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.
