About Tangerine Melt
Tangerine Melt (091) is a deep, bold orange from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 36, Tangerine Melt 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 Melt'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 Tangy Orange (2014-30), it's lighter.
How Tangerine Melt changes with the light
Tangerine Melt 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

East-facing rooms

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