How they read
In their own wordsInventive Orange is a mid-light, clear apricot — a genuine orange rather than a terracotta, with a warm yellow-red base. At LRV 42 it is bright enough to lift a room and saturated enough to read as a deliberate choice.
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.
