About Flamingo Orange

Flamingo Orange (075) is a deep, bold orange from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 37, Flamingo 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 Flamingo 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 Golden Cherry (069), it's lighter.

How Flamingo Orange changes with the light

Flamingo 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.

N

North-facing rooms

Flamingo Orange's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.

E

East-facing rooms

Flamingo Orange will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

S

South-facing rooms

In strong south light Flamingo Orange can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.

W

West-facing rooms

Flamingo Orange will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
