Glidden

Wet Coral

PPG1189-6

Wet Coral is a grounded coral red with a clay-orange base rather than a sweet pink cast. The warmth is obvious. On walls, it brings more depth than the name suggests, so it suits a powder room, a painted hutch, or an exterior door better than a whole open-plan space.

Creamy white steadies the coral-orange base. Black hardware gives the color a cleaner edge. Sample beside brick or terra-cotta, because related undertones can either harmonize or feel too heavy.

Wet Coral 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.
