Modern RomanceBenjamin MoorevsRadicchioBenjamin MooreΔE 8.9Noticeable difference

Modern Romance and Radicchio come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 4-point LRV gap — 11 for Modern Romance vs 7 for Radicchio — means Modern Romance will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
