In real rooms

Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Both read warm. Pixie is a orange, Monet a pink.

How they read

In their own words

Pixie is a lime wash colour from Portola Paints, which describes it as a "playful, sophisticated peach" and a blend of its El Matador and Potter's Clay colours.

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.
