What color is Benjamin Moore Rich Coral?
Benjamin Moore Rich Coral 028 is a medium-depth coral with a warm red-orange cast and a softly muted, earthy finish. Its color is strong enough to read clearly on a wall, yet the grayed quality in #CE6C52 keeps it from feeling neon or overly sugary. In bright daylight, Rich Coral can appear fresher and more orange-leaning, while lower or warmer light brings out its deeper terracotta-red side. Use it on a dining room wall, powder room, painted door, or kitchen island where a concentrated wash of color feels appropriate. Creamy off-whites, warm beige, natural oak, aged brass, and olive-green accents give this shade a grounded setting.

LRV of Rich Coral
Rich Coral has an LRV of 24.43% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 24.43%, 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.
