Coral screen online: #FF7F50 at full screen
Coral sits between orange and pink at around 16° hue, with all three channels lit and red at maximum. That combination — warm, bright and not fully saturated — is close to the light a warm lamp throws, which is why it reads as flattering rather than as a colour cast.
It is a better lighting choice than pure orange for anything involving faces. Orange pushes skin heavily towards yellow; coral has enough blue in it to keep skin looking like skin while still warming the image.
As a display test it is not diagnostic — every channel is active — but it is a fair check that mixed tones render smoothly on a panel rather than posterising.
How to get a full screen coral background
Press the fullscreen button on the player above, or the F key. Escape returns you to the page. On a desktop browser F11 does the same job and hides the browser's own toolbars as well.
The colour box is a control, not a picture: use the hex field to enter any value, pick another shade from the palette, or download the current colour as a PNG at your screen's resolution. Whatever you set is written into the address bar, so the link you copy reproduces exactly what you are looking at.
