What color is Benjamin Moore Tangelo?

Benjamin Moore Tangelo 2017-30 is a bright, high-energy orange with a clear golden cast, reflected in its vivid #FFA134 color value. It reads warm and sunny rather than red-heavy, making it a lively option for an accent wall, a painted front door, or the back of open shelving. In strong daylight, Tangelo can appear especially crisp and citrusy, while warmer indoor bulbs bring forward its deeper amber side. Pair it with soft cream, warm white, natural oak, rattan, or charcoal for contrast that keeps the orange grounded. This shade is best used where a concentrated hit of color is welcome, such as a breakfast nook, playroom, studio, or statement cabinetry.

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 44.9%, 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.
