About Festive Orange
Festive Orange (2014-10) is a deep, bold red from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 24, Festive 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 Festive 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 dining rooms, accent walls, front doors and libraries. Next to Orange Nectar (2013-20), it's warmer and more colorful.
How Festive Orange changes with the light
Festive Orange has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
North-facing rooms
Festive Orange's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms

South-facing rooms
In strong south light Festive Orange can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Festive Orange will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
