About Calypso Orange
Calypso Orange (2015-30) is a deep, bold orange from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 39, Calypso Orange absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Calypso Orange's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for living rooms, bedrooms and accent walls. Next to Fruit Punch (140), it's warmer and more colorful.
