About Tucker Orange
Tucker Orange (CW-300) is a deep, bold red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 29, Tucker 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 Tucker 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 dining rooms, accent walls, front doors and libraries. Next to Golden Gate (033), it's warmer and more colorful.
