The difference

Read from the numbers

Pink Cloud is the lighter of the two at LRV 80.1, 40.1 points above Monet at LRV 39.98. Both read warm. Both belong to the pink family. For a whole room, Pink Cloud is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Monet is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Monet is a dusty, mauve-leaning pink with a beige base — a rose that has softened into something closer to lilac. At LRV 40 it is a real mid-tone, dark enough to feel enveloping in a small room and light enough to keep a powder room from going gloomy.

Pink Cloud is the lightest pink in the library — at LRV 80 it is closer to a tinted white than a color, a peach-blush so faint it reads as warmth rather than pink until you see it beside a true white. It is gentle, luminous and impossible to overdo.
