Orange Paint Colors | Benjamin Moore
Orange paint sits at the warmest edge of the color wheel, blending the energy of red with the optimism of yellow. The right shade can wake up a tired kitchen, ground a dining room in earthy comfort, or turn an ordinary front door into the most-photographed spot on the block. Paint Outlets stocks the full Benjamin Moore range, from soft peach to deep terracotta and burnt sienna.
Browse alongside our neutral paint colors, brown paint colors, and red paint colors collections to round out the palette.

Soft Peach for Calm Spaces
Soft Pumpkin 2166-40, Peachland 2168-40, and Peach Cobbler 2169-40 read as creamy neutrals and work especially well in north-facing rooms that need a lift. Buttered Yam AF-230 bridges peach and caramel for kitchens and dining rooms with warm wood tones. These soft orange paint shades pair beautifully with cream trim and natural wood floors.
Terracotta for Mediterranean and Southwest Homes
Terracotta paint colour pairs naturally with wood floors, leather, woven rugs, and brass hardware. Audubon Russet HC-51, Cinnamon Slate 2113-40, and Texas Rose 2092-40 all sit in this space. Where bright orange shouts, terracotta hums, which is why it has become one of the most-photographed wall colors of the past three years. For exterior stucco, board-and-batten, or Mediterranean-style siding, these clay-leaning oranges hold up beautifully against weather and sun.
Burnt Orange for Statement Walls and Front Doors
Saturated burnt orange paint colour earns its keep on accent walls, dining rooms, and exterior front doors. Rumba Orange 2014-20, Tangelo 2017-30, Audubon Russet HC-51, and Maple Leaf Red 2084-20 all deliver. ADVANCE waterborne alkyd is the recommended product for front doors because it cures hard and resists daily wear. Browse our front door paint colors for more curb appeal ideas.

Color Desk Tip
Orange shifts more dramatically across daylight than almost any other family. A peach that reads dusty in morning light can read more saturated under evening incandescent bulbs. Always order 8x9 paper samples (we send 3 sheets per color ordered) , place it on at least two walls, and view at morning, midday, evening, and under your usual evening bulbs. Call our color desk at 248.598.0311 for shortlisting help.
Finish Recommendations
Choose matte or eggshell in Regal Select or Aura for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. Use eggshell or low sheen for kitchens and bathrooms. For front doors, trim, and cabinetry, choose satin or semi-gloss in ADVANCE waterborne alkyd, which combines oil-like leveling with water cleanup. For exterior orange siding or shutters, Aura Exterior delivers the strongest fade resistance against direct sun.

Orange Paint Frequently Asked Questions
-
Orange paint adds warmth, energy, and earthy character to a room. It works on interior walls, exteriors, front doors, cabinetry, and accent pieces. Modern shades range from soft peach for bedrooms to deep terracotta for dining rooms and burnt orange for front doors.
-
Orange is made by mixing red and yellow pigments. More red creates burnt orange and rust; more yellow produces peach and apricot. Benjamin Moore paints are pre-mixed using Gennex Color Technology, so you do not need to mix anything yourself.
-
Popular Benjamin Moore orange shades include Soft Pumpkin 2166-40, Peachland 2168-40, Buttered Yam AF-230, Audubon Russet HC-51, Rumba Orange 2014-20, and Maple Leaf Red 2084-20. Earthy terracotta tones are especially popular right now.
-
Audubon Russet HC-51, Rumba Orange 2014-20, and Maple Leaf Red 2084-20 are three popular orange front door choices. ADVANCE waterborne alkyd is the recommended product for interior because it cures hard and resists daily wear. AURA® exterior is recommended for exterior doors for its uv/fade resistance and moisture protection.
-
Yes, when the shade matches the room. Earthy terracotta and soft peach work as warm neutrals in living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. Saturated burnt oranges suit small powder rooms, front doors, and accent walls. Avoid highlighter oranges across an entire main living space.
-
Match the orange to your floors and furniture. Honey or red-oak floors pair best with terracotta and clay tones (Audubon Russet HC-51, Cinnamon Slate 2113-40). Cool or white-oak floors balance with peach and apricot (Peachland 2168-40, Buttered Yam AF-230). Order two peel-and-stick samples in different undertones before deciding.
