How they read
In their own wordsLotus Flower SW 6310 is a soft pink in Sherwin-Williams' red family, rated for interior and exterior use. Compositepaint.com describes a warm red undertone that reads as a rosy pink, with an LRV of 57.
Tender Pink is a mid-tone dusty rose with a clear thread of orange running through it, which keeps it earthy rather than sugary. At an LRV around 41 it is a real colour, not a blush — walls painted in it hold their own against pattern and dark furniture.
