What color is Benjamin Moore Racing Orange?

Benjamin Moore Racing Orange 2169-10 is a deep, high-impact orange with a clear red cast that keeps it from reading as bright citrus. Its saturated, medium-dark presence feels especially effective on a front door, dining-room accent wall, or painted built-in where the color can hold its own. In strong daylight, Racing Orange shows its lively orange character, while lower light brings forward its richer, redder depth. Pair it with warm off-whites, charcoal, matte black hardware, or natural wood for contrast that does not compete with the color. Used across all four walls, this shade is best suited to spaces with ample light and a deliberate, bold palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 20.07%, 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.
