Chestnut vs Hearth Red

Chestnut and Hearth Red come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 13 for Hearth Red vs 9 for Chestnut — means Hearth Red will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 8.6 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
