About Faint Coral

Faint Coral (SW 6329) is a light pink from Sherwin-Williams with a warm peach undertone. With an LRV of 75, Faint Coral 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 Faint Coral's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms and accent walls. It's very close to Intimate White (SW 6322); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
