Hot Apple Spice vs Piquant
Where Hot Apple Spice belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Piquant is a Cloverdale Paint color. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (10 vs 11), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 2.5, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
