What color is Benjamin Moore Startling Orange?
Benjamin Moore Startling Orange 2016-10 is a clear, high-energy orange with a warm, sunlit cast. Its strong saturation makes it read as a lively statement color rather than a muted earth tone, while its medium-light depth keeps it bright on the wall. In daylight, Startling Orange appears crisp and clean; under warm interior lighting, it can lean more golden. Use it on a front door, a painted cabinet, or a single dining-room wall, where its intensity has room to stand out. Pair it with soft white trim, pale wood, charcoal accents, or deep navy for contrast.

LRV of Startling Orange
Startling Orange has an LRV of 32.31% 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 32.31%, 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.
