What color is Benjamin Moore Coral Spice?
Benjamin Moore Coral Spice 2170-40 is a warm, medium-light coral with a peachy cast and a softly muted finish. Its #EA9E82 color value reads as sun-warmed rather than overly pink, bringing noticeable color to a room without the intensity of a bright orange. On walls, Coral Spice can add gentle warmth to dining rooms, powder rooms, and bedrooms, especially where natural light keeps its peach undertone clear. In lower or cooler light, it may appear a little earthier and more subdued. Pair it with creamy off-whites, sandy beiges, pale terracotta, or natural oak for a cohesive palette, and use matte black or aged brass hardware for contrast.
LRV of Coral Spice
Coral Spice has an LRV of 43.46% 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 43.46%, 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.
