Sherwin Williams

Coral Reef

SW 6606

Coral Reef (hex #D9766C) is a warm, moderately saturated red-coral with pink and orange undertones and an LRV of 29. It sits in the lower-mid reflectance range, giving it enough depth to function as a statement color while retaining a softened, slightly dusty appearance. The red base is tempered by its pink lean, producing a hue that reads warmer than a true red.

Sherwin-Williams Extra White or Pure White provide clean contrast against it. Sherwin-Williams Romance offers a softer analogous pairing, and Sherwin-Williams Anchors Aweigh introduces a deep navy counterpoint for tonal depth.
