Benjamin Moore

Coral Essence

2007-40

Coral Essence is a warm, saturated pink with noticeable red undertones that give it a lively, forward-facing quality. With an LRV of 33.16, it falls on the lower end of the mid-range, absorbing a fair amount of light and reading with moderate depth on walls. This makes it better suited to accent walls or smaller rooms where a pronounced color statement is intended.

Pairing it with Benjamin Moore's White Sand or Soft Chamois keeps surrounding surfaces neutral. For sharper contrast, Hale Navy works effectively, while a softer combination can be achieved with Palladian Blue or Antique White.
