Read from the numbersBoth read warm. Monet is a pink, Poe a purple.
How they read
In their own wordsMonet 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.
Poe is a Roman Clay colour from Portola Paints, which describes it as a "deep plum". Portola says it was originally named Black Magic and was inspired by the writing of Edgar Allan Poe.
