Benjamin Moore

Coral Spice

2170-40

Coral Spice is a warm coral-orange shade with clear orange undertones that push it toward a lighter, more approachable range within the coral family. It has an LRV of 43.46, making it brighter than many corals and capable of reflecting a fair amount of natural light. This quality makes it functional on full walls in bedrooms or living spaces without feeling heavy.

It pairs naturally with Benjamin Moore's Golden Honey and Apricot Beige for a warm tonal grouping. For contrast, Blue Danube or Aegean Teal introduce a cooler counterpoint, while Stone Hearth provides a quiet neutral base.
