What color is Benjamin Moore Coral Bells?
Benjamin Moore Coral Bells CSP-1135 is a muted clay-coral with a noticeable rosy warmth and softened brown undertone. Its mid-depth color keeps it grounded, reading less like a bright peach and more like sun-baked terracotta with a pink cast. In direct warm light, Coral Bells can appear clearer and more coral, while cooler or shaded rooms bring out its earthy, dusky side. It makes a characterful choice for dining room walls, a powder room, or painted cabinetry where a richer neutral is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm oak, aged brass, natural linen, and deep olive or charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Coral Bells
Coral Bells has an LRV of 25.92% and refers to Medium 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 25.92%, 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.
