Good Questions: Veuve Cliquot Orange?

Hello AT,

I've been searching for weeks for the perfect paint color for my new
studio space, and I found it! But It's in a DWR catalog, which my
husband just dropped into the bathtub... I call it "Veuve Orange",
because it appears to be the exact color of a Veuve Clicquot label.
Can anyone suggest a paint color like this? Or have a friend at DWR? Or have an extra bottle of Veuve to color match? Thanks for any help you can give!

Bridget

Dear Bridget,

A friend of ours once wanted to paint his bathroom the exact color of the Veuve Cliquot label and matched it perfectly to Benjamin Moore 2018-20 Mandarin Orange. You can see the post I wrote about it here. That said, he found it REALLY strong once it was in his bathroom, and you may want to go a shade lighter.

Any other suggestions??

Note that the VC orange label is against a background of dark wine bottle green, which both greys the orange and reduces its impact. If your room/furniture is white, the orange will be perceived as a different shade.
