About Coral Rock
Coral Rock (032) is a deep, medium-strength red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 37, Coral Rock absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Coral Rock's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for dining rooms, accent walls, front doors and libraries. Next to Salmon Run (019), it's darker and cooler.
How Coral Rock changes with the light
Coral Rock has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
