What color is Benjamin Moore Coral Dust?
Benjamin Moore Coral Dust 2173-50 is a light, muted pink with a noticeable warm peach cast. Its softened color value keeps it from reading overly sweet, making it a useful option for bedroom walls, powder rooms, or a small dining area. In warm daylight, Coral Dust can appear a little more rosy and sun-kissed, while cooler light may bring out its gentle grayed quality. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale oak, natural linen, or brushed brass for a warm, understated palette. It also makes a pleasing accent on built-ins or a painted vanity when surrounded by quieter neutral walls.

LRV of Coral Dust
Coral Dust has an LRV of 53.01% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 53.01%, 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.
