Hot Tamale vs RAL 460-M
Hot Tamale is a Benjamin Moore color while RAL 460-M comes from RAL Effect. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. With LRVs of 13 and 11, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 3.0, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
