About Coronado Cream
Coronado Cream (219) is a light, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans yellow. With an LRV of 73, Coronado Cream reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Coronado Cream's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Philadelphia Cream (HC-30); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
