What color is Benjamin Moore Coral Buff?
Benjamin Moore Coral Buff 024 is a light, warm peach-pink with a softly muted coral cast. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle red and orange undertones give it more presence than a standard cream. In daylight, Coral Buff reads as a clean pale blush; warmer bulbs can draw out its peachier side. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, nurseries, or a softly colored dining area, and can also bring a subtle wash of color to cabinetry. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, and quiet clay, sand, or dusty green accents.

LRV of Coral Buff
Coral Buff has an LRV of 62.5% 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 62.5%, 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.
