Mediterranean Spice vs Red Licorice
Where Mediterranean Spice belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Red Licorice is a PPG color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Mediterranean Spice (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Red Licorice (LRV 12), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. At ΔE 2.9, 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.
