Aztec Lily vs Candy Mix
Where Aztec Lily belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Candy Mix 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. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (78 vs 77), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. At ΔE 1.8, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
