What color is Benjamin Moore Starburst Orange?
Benjamin Moore Starburst Orange 2010-30 is a vivid orange-red with a clear coral cast, giving it a bright, high-energy presence. Its strong saturation makes it especially effective as an accent wall, painted front door, or lively cabinet color rather than an all-over neutral. In direct daylight, this shade reads crisp and cheerful, while warmer evening bulbs can bring forward its redder side. Pair it with clean white trim, pale sand tones, or light natural wood to keep the look grounded. Matte black hardware and deep blue-green accents offer a sharper, more graphic contrast.

LRV of Starburst Orange
Starburst Orange has an LRV of 25.95% 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 25.95%, 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.
