The difference

Read from the numbers

Coral Spice is the lighter of the two at LRV 43.46, 28 points above Georgian Brick at LRV 15.46. Both read warm. Both belong to the orange family. For a whole room, Coral Spice is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Georgian Brick is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Georgian Brick is a Historical Colors red-orange that Benjamin Moore describes as 'a rustic blend of red and orange'. It is the colour of weathered brick — warm, a little dusty, and far more livable than a true red.

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.
