About Tangerine Fusion
Tangerine Fusion (083) is a deep, bold red from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 37, Tangerine Fusion 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 Tangerine Fusion'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 Tangy Orange (2014-30), it's lighter and cooler.
How Tangerine Fusion changes with the light
Tangerine Fusion 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

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