About Mexican Tile
Mexican Tile (1194) is a deep, medium-strength pink from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 30, Mexican Tile absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Mexican Tile's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, nurseries, powder rooms and accent walls. It's very close to Bed and Breakfast (CC-184); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
