What color is Benjamin Moore Orange Sherbet?
Benjamin Moore Orange Sherbet 122 is a light, creamy peach with a clear warm orange cast and a soft, milky finish. Its #FED1A5 color value keeps it airy rather than intense, so it reads more like sunlit apricot than a bold citrus orange. In bright daylight, Orange Sherbet can appear fresher and slightly more yellow-peach, while evening light brings out its gentler blush-beige side. It suits kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, nurseries, and powder rooms where a warm wash of color is welcome without making the room feel heavy. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven cane, terracotta, or muted sage accents for a grounded, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Orange Sherbet
Orange Sherbet has an LRV of 66.29% 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 66.29%, 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.
