Benjamin Moore

Antique Coral

1198

Antique Coral is a soft orange with warm pink undertones that shift its appearance away from pure peach toward a slightly flushed tone. With an LRV of 61.76, it reflects a moderate amount of light and holds readable color on walls without darkening a room. It performs consistently under both natural and artificial light, though incandescent sources will push it warmer.

White Dove and Swiss Coffee are effective trim companions that preserve its warmth. For contrast, Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide a cooler counterpoint, while Peach Parfait offers a lighter tonal step in the same family.

Antique Coral in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
