There are different shades of coral (some more pink and some more red), but I typically like brown with what I would call "coral" in color. Brown looks great with middle of the road corals and those on the pinkish side. If the color seems nearly red then it is hard to say if brown would work without seeing it, but the other suggested neutrals of black, white, and beige would work if you question the shade of coral. What I like about the coral/brown combination is that the brown grounds the coral so that it is not too "girly" for me while still being feminine. Is the skirt a solid color? If not you could have even more options... good luck!

Beautiful dress by the way, this is coral, there are many different tones of coral pink, this is the darkest, I think if you are thinking of buying this dress (I say go for it) once you have it at home, the colour will seem more familiar to you, sometimes when you're viewing an image, the colour can be distorted, especially on the computer.
I actually like this tone of coral more than the pastel shade as it's versatile for most skin tones, I say make a purchase, oh and it would look fab with silver accessories. Good luck bidding ;0)

Hi, coral is NOT always pink. Theres white, red, blue,black.... coral. Also, names of colors that apparel producers use to describe the colors of their products are not necessarily identical to the real color. In addition to that, there is still the problem of printing a color on paper so it looks identical to the product that is made from a different material.

Coral is an orangey color. I'd say that dress is a bright coral.

I always thought of coral as a pinky orange color.
