Benjamin Moore

Coriander Seed

AF-110

Coriander Seed is a neutral brown with subtle warm undertones that keep it from reading too cool or flat on the wall. Its LRV of 23.34 means it falls on the darker side of the mid-range, absorbing more light than it reflects and lending quiet depth to a room. It functions well in libraries, dining rooms, and living spaces where a composed, low-contrast backdrop is appropriate.

Edgecomb Gray and Revere Pewter from Benjamin Moore pair with it to maintain a restrained neutral scheme. Hale Navy adds firm contrast, and Weston Flax introduces a soft, warm lift.

Coriander Seed 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.
