Sherwin Williams

Mellow Coral

SW 6324

Mellow Coral is a soft warm red with peach and pink undertones, registering an LRV of 52 that gives it a mid-light reflectance value. The peach component keeps the hue from reading overtly red, pulling it toward a muted blush territory that works well in bedrooms and powder rooms. Its pink undertone becomes more visible under warm incandescent lighting.

Sherwin-Williams Alabaster, Pure White, Likeable Sand, and Hushed Auburn coordinate effectively alongside it. On larger wall surfaces the color reads lighter and more diffused than on small chips, so testing full-scale samples is advisable.

Mellow 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.
