Benjamin Moore

Old World

2011-40

Old World from Benjamin Moore is a bright coral with warm pink-orange undertones and a Light Reflectance Value of 44.43, placing it in the mid-reflectance range. Its saturated warmth makes it functional as an accent wall color in living rooms, dining areas, or bedrooms where a distinct focal tone is needed. The coral base reads lively without becoming overwhelming when balanced against neutral companions.

Palladian Blue and Silver Half Dollar offer cool contrast, Chantilly Lace works as a clean trim pairing, and Salmon Peach provides a close analogous option.
