The 9-point LRV gap — 31 for Captivating Teal vs 22 for Red Tulip — means Captivating Teal will open up a space more effectively. Where Captivating Teal leans green and blue, Red Tulip reads red — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

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.
