What color is Red Coral? It's a deep warm red with the hex code #CD6359. Colors similar to Red Coral include Sherwin-Williams Quite Coral, Dunn-Edwards Southwestern Clay, Benjamin Moore Raspberry Blush. Red Coral has a warm (golden) undertone, which affects how it pairs with trim, flooring, and adjacent wall colors. Its LRV of 25 gives Red Coral depth without going dark, which makes it a strong choice for accent walls, libraries, and rooms with abundant natural light. Pair it with creamy off-whites like Alabaster for trim, walnut or cherry hardwoods, and brass hardware — the warmth keeps reds from feeling clinical. Deep forest green or navy work as bold accent walls. Reds intensify under 2700K-3000K warm bulbs, deepening into wine territory.
