What color is Benjamin Moore Marmalade?
Benjamin Moore Marmalade 2016-40 is a bright, sun-warmed orange with a clear peachy-gold cast. Its light value keeps the color feeling open rather than heavy, while the saturation gives it enough presence for a cheerful feature wall or painted dining nook. In direct daylight, Marmalade reads crisp and juicy; under warm evening bulbs, its peach and amber notes become more pronounced. Try it on cabinetry, a front door, or an accent wall alongside creamy whites, warm beige, natural oak, rattan, and matte brass. Cooler blue-green or dusty teal accents can provide a lively contrast without competing with this shade’s warmth.

LRV of Marmalade
Marmalade has an LRV of 55.95% 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 55.95%, 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.
