What color is Benjamin Moore Rumba Orange?

Benjamin Moore Rumba Orange 2014-20 is a vivid, high-energy orange with a clear red cast, reflected in its #EF6530 color value. It reads warm and saturated rather than muted, making it especially effective where a strong hit of color is wanted. On a front door, kitchen island, dining-room accent wall, or painted chair, Rumba Orange brings a lively focal point without needing to cover every surface. Bright daylight emphasizes its clean orange character, while warmer interior lighting can draw out its deeper red-orange side. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal, deep navy, natural oak, or matte black metal for contrast that keeps the color grounded.

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 26.05%, 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.
