Inferno vs Tawny Day Lily
Inferno (Behr) and Tawny Day Lily (Benjamin Moore) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 20 vs 19 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 11.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Inferno vs Tawny Day Lily Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Inferno on one side and Tawny Day Lily on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
