What color is Benjamin Moore Outrageous Orange?
Benjamin Moore Outrageous Orange 2013-10 is a vivid, high-saturation orange with a strong red cast, reading closer to hot orange-red than a sunny yellow-orange. Its #E34C28 color value gives it clear warmth and substantial visual weight, so it is best used where a bold hit of color is wanted. On a front door, a single accent wall, or the back of open shelving, Outrageous Orange creates a sharp focal point without needing large coverage. Bright daylight brings out its energetic orange character, while lower or warmer indoor light can make its red undertone more noticeable. Pair it with clean white, charcoal, deep navy, black metal, or pale natural wood to give the color room to stand out.

LRV of Outrageous Orange
Outrageous Orange has an LRV of 20.06% 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 20.06%, 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.
