Sausalito Sunset

74

Sausalito Sunset is a medium-saturation coral with clear orange undertones and an LRV of 46.87, placing it in the moderate reflectance range. It reads as warm and pigmented without being overly bright, maintaining enough body to register distinctly on walls. Under cool daylight it holds its coral identity, while warm artificial light may push it toward a peachier reading.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, Peach Parfait, White Dove, and Simply White, working in both warm analogous groupings and high-contrast pairings with deep neutrals.

Sausalito Sunset 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.
