Coral Buff

Coral Buff is a pale coral with a soft pink undertone that keeps it light and warm without strong saturation. It has an LRV of 62.5, reflecting a substantial amount of light and reading as bright and open on walls. This makes it a functional option for bedrooms, living rooms, or dining areas where a warm but understated tone is needed.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore Soft Salmon and Peach Parfait for a tonal, analogous grouping. For contrast, deeper colors like Newburg Green or Hale Navy bring out its warmth, while Chantilly Lace provides a crisp, clean boundary.

Coral Buff 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.
