About Patina
Patina (1195) is a deep, medium-strength red from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 24, Patina 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 Patina'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. It's very close to Coral Bells (CSP-1135); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
