What color is Benjamin Moore Tangerine Dream?
Benjamin Moore Tangerine Dream 2012-30 is a vivid coral-orange with a noticeable red cast, giving it more depth than a clear, citrusy orange. Its high saturation makes it especially effective on a front door, a dining-room accent wall, or painted cabinetry in a small dose. In direct daylight, Tangerine Dream reads brighter and more energetic, while evening light can pull forward its warmer red undertones. Pair it with soft cream, warm white, natural oak, woven cane, or deep charcoal for contrast that keeps the color grounded.

LRV of Tangerine Dream
Tangerine Dream has an LRV of 28.31% 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 28.31%, 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.
