The difference

Read from the numbers

Coral Spice is the lighter of the two at LRV 43.46, 4.8 points above Rosy Tan at LRV 38.68. Both read warm. Coral Spice is a orange, Rosy Tan a pink. For a whole room, Coral Spice is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Rosy Tan is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Coral Spice 2170-40 is a mid-tone coral from Benjamin Moore's Color Preview collection, which the brand describes as "a vivacious shade of coral with a feel-good vibe". Its LRV is 43.46.

Rosy Tan is exactly what the name promises: a dusty pink built on a tan base, so it never reads sweet. Benjamin Moore describes it as 'a powdery blush', and on the wall it has the softness of old plaster.
