What color is Benjamin Moore Orange Nectar?
Benjamin Moore Orange Nectar 2013-20 is a vivid, warm orange with a pronounced red cast, giving it the punch of a sunlit coral-orange rather than a muted citrus shade. Its high saturation makes it best suited to areas where color is meant to be noticed: a dining room accent wall, a front door, painted shelving, or the back panel of a bookcase. In bright daylight, Orange Nectar reads clean and energetic, while lower or warmer lighting can pull forward its red-orange depth. Pair it with soft warm whites, pale sand tones, natural oak, rattan, and matte black hardware for contrast. It can also bring welcome intensity to exterior trim or a small porch door when surrounded by neutral siding.

LRV of Orange Nectar
Orange Nectar has an LRV of 23.22% 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 23.22%, 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.
