What color is Benjamin Moore Tucson Coral?
Benjamin Moore Tucson Coral 005 is a clear, warm coral with a pronounced pink-orange cast and a lively mid-tone depth. Its #F37F6B value gives it enough saturation to read confidently on a wall, while still feeling softer than a true red or blazing orange. Bright daylight brings out its fresh peachy-orange side, while warmer evening light can make the pink tones feel more noticeable. Use Tucson Coral for a powder room, breakfast nook, painted interior door, or a single accent wall where color is meant to be part of the room’s architecture. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale warm grays, natural oak, woven cane, and matte brass for a grounded contrast.

LRV of Tucson Coral
Tucson Coral has an LRV of 33.65% 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 33.65%, 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.
