What color is Benjamin Moore Coral Gables?
Benjamin Moore Coral Gables 2010-40 is a clear, warm coral with a soft pink cast and enough orange to keep it bright rather than sugary. Its mid-light depth gives it noticeable presence on a wall, especially in rooms that benefit from a little color without moving into red territory. Daylight brings out its fresh peach-coral character, while warmer evening lighting can make it read rosier and more enveloping. Use it on a powder room, breakfast nook, or painted interior door, or reserve it for an accent wall when a full room feels too bold. Coral Gables pairs well with creamy whites, pale sand tones, natural oak, woven cane, and brushed brass; deep blue-green accents provide a sharper contrast.

LRV of Coral Gables
Coral Gables has an LRV of 40.46% 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 40.46%, 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.
