What color is Benjamin Moore Coral Bronze?

Benjamin Moore Coral Bronze 1298 is a medium-depth coral with a warm, earthy red base and a softened pink cast. Its #CC7469 color value keeps it from reading overly bright, giving the shade a slightly weathered, clay-like character instead. In strong daylight, Coral Bronze can appear clearer and more coral-forward, while lower or warmer light brings out its deeper rosy terracotta side. It has enough presence for a dining room, powder room, or front door, and can also make a memorable accent wall behind a bed or built-in shelving. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm taupes, natural oak, aged brass, and deep olive or muted blue-green accents for contrast.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 26.08%, 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.
