Pirates Cove Beach

903 / OC-80

Pirates Cove Beach is a light orange-peach with warm undertones that stay soft rather than saturated. An LRV of 74.42 allows it to reflect a high level of light, keeping spaces bright and open. It works well in kitchens, sunrooms, and living areas that benefit from warmth.

The color remains stable in daylight. Pirates Cove Beach pairs well with White Dove, Swiss Coffee, and Pale Oak, and it contrasts effectively with Hale Navy or Hunter Green.

Pirates Cove Beach 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.
