Amaryllis vs Iron Ore
Amaryllis (Benjamin Moore) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Amaryllis reads as pink-red, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 31-point LRV gap — 37 for Amaryllis vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Amaryllis will open up a space more effectively. Where Amaryllis leans red, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 43.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Amaryllis on one side and Iron Ore 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.
