Valspar

Coral Reef

2004-4A

Coral Reef is a bright salmon coral with a warm peach-red base. A small bath, porch door, or built-in niche can feel lively in it without using pure orange. The value is mid-light, so the color will spread through the room more than a sample suggests.

Keep surrounding finishes simple. Cream trim softens the contrast. Cool blue accents can work, but use them sparingly so the palette does not turn costume-like.

Coral Reef 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.
