What color is Benjamin Moore Orange Sky?
Benjamin Moore Orange Sky 2018-10 is a clear, high-energy orange with a strong golden-yellow cast rather than a muted or reddish finish. Its bright #FF9F00 color value gives it a sunny, highly saturated presence that reads best as a deliberate focal point. Use it on a front door, kitchen island, dining-room accent wall, or painted furniture where its intensity can be appreciated in smaller doses. Crisp white trim keeps the look clean, while charcoal, deep navy, natural oak, and black metal provide grounded contrast. In bright daylight, this shade will emphasize its yellow-orange brightness; at night, warm lighting can make it feel richer and more amber-toned.

LRV of Orange Sky
Orange Sky has an LRV of 44.19% 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 44.19%, 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.
