In real rooms

Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Tender Pink is the lighter of the two at LRV 40.6, 0.6 points above Monet at LRV 39.98. Both read warm. Both belong to the pink family. For a whole room, Tender Pink is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Monet is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

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.

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.
