About Topaz
Topaz (070) is a deep, bold orange from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 22, Topaz 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 Topaz'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 Hale Orange (CW-295), it's darker and cooler.
How Topaz changes with the light
Topaz 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
Topaz's warmth balances the cool north light, which is why warmer colors are the safe pick for north rooms.
East-facing rooms
Topaz will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.
South-facing rooms
In strong south light Topaz can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
Topaz will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
