What color is Benjamin Moore Blanched Coral?
Benjamin Moore Blanched Coral 886 is a very pale warm neutral with a soft blush-peach cast, sitting close to an off-white at first glance. Its #F8E9E0 value keeps the color light and low in saturation, so it reads as a gentle wash of coral rather than a distinctly pink wall color. In bright daylight, the warm peach undertone is more noticeable, while lower or warmer lighting can make it appear creamier and quieter. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms, and softly lit living spaces where a white wall might feel too stark. Pair Blanched Coral with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, muted terracotta, or dusty sage accents.

What are Benjamin Moore Blanched Coral undertones?
Blanched Coral is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Blanched Coral
Blanched Coral has an LRV of 81.42% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 81.42%, 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.
