What color is Benjamin Moore Antique Coral?
Benjamin Moore Antique Coral 1198 is a light, warm coral with a soft peach cast and a gentle pink undertone. Its pale value keeps the color airy rather than bold, making it well suited to bedroom walls, powder rooms, or a sunlit dining nook. In bright natural light, Antique Coral appears fresh and lightly peachy; under warmer evening bulbs, it can take on a creamier blush tone. Pair it with warm white trim, light oak, woven natural fibers, and muted clay or sand accents for a cohesive palette. For a smaller dose of color, this shade would also suit a painted dresser, interior door, or cabinetry in a casual kitchen.

LRV of Antique Coral
Antique Coral has an LRV of 61.76% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 61.76%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
