What color is Benjamin Moore Tucker Orange?
Benjamin Moore Tucker Orange CW-300 is a mid-tone orange with a noticeable coral cast, softened by pink-red undertones rather than leaning toward a sharp pumpkin hue. Its saturated warmth gives it enough presence for a dining room, sunroom, or entry wall, while also making a lively choice for painted furniture or an interior door. In clear daylight, Tucker Orange reads as a fresh coral-orange; under warm evening bulbs, its redder notes become more pronounced. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale sand tones, natural oak, rattan, or aged brass to let the color feel grounded. For stronger contrast, deep teal-blue or muted blue-green accents can sharpen its warmth without competing with it.

LRV of Tucker Orange
Tucker Orange has an LRV of 29.26% 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 29.26%, 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.
