The difference

Read from the numbers

Lotus Flower is the lighter of the two at LRV 57, 9.6 points above Templeton Pink at LRV 47.44. Both read warm. Both belong to the pink family. For a whole room, Lotus Flower is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Templeton Pink is the bolder pick.
