On-screen approximation from the published RGB value. Order a physical sample before you decide.
Undertone: Saturated orange (a color, not a neutral)
In CIELAB, Byzantine sits at L* 52.8, a* 18.0, b* 35.6. Its hue angle is 63° and its chroma is 39.9, so it reads as an outright orange rather than a neutral. It classifies as warm. Among Benjamin Moore colors with a similar LRV (±5), it is warmer (more yellow) than 89%.
LRV 21.3: dark
Light Reflectance Value runs from 0 (absolute black) to 100 (perfect white). At 21.3, Byzantine is lighter than 22% of Benjamin Moore colors. Absorbs most light. Good for accent walls, cabinets, doors and exteriors; needs good lighting indoors.
