How they read
In their own wordsCoral 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.
