What color is Benjamin Moore Tangerine Melt?
Benjamin Moore Tangerine Melt 091 is a bright, warm orange with a clear peachy-coral cast rather than a deep red-orange base. Its high saturation gives it real presence, making it especially effective on a front door, kitchen island, painted chair, or a small accent wall. In direct daylight, Tangerine Melt reads lively and sunlit; under warmer evening bulbs, it can appear richer and more coppery. Pair it with soft cream, sandy beige, pale wood, or clean white trim to keep the color crisp, or use charcoal and dark navy for stronger contrast.

LRV of Tangerine Melt
Tangerine Melt has an LRV of 34.95% 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 34.95%, 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.
