About Tangerine Mist
Tangerine Mist (129) is a light, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 74, Tangerine Mist reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Tangerine Mist's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Sweet Melon (121); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
