What color is Benjamin Moore Sharp Cheddar?
Benjamin Moore Sharp Cheddar 2017-20 is a vivid, high-saturation orange with a clear golden cast, closely reflected in its #FC931E color value. It reads warm and energetic on a wall, especially in rooms with plenty of daylight, while evening lighting can make it appear deeper and more amber. Use it as an accent on a breakfast nook wall, a painted interior door, or bold cabinetry where its intensity can be contained. Crisp white trim gives it a clean graphic edge, while charcoal, deep navy, and natural walnut add useful contrast. Matte black hardware and warm metals such as brass complement its sunny orange character.

LRV of Sharp Cheddar
Sharp Cheddar has an LRV of 39.05% 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 39.05%, 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.
