Cinco de Mayo vs Pink Flamingo
Where Cinco de Mayo belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pink Flamingo is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Pink Flamingo (LRV 26) reflects noticeably more light than Cinco de Mayo (LRV 24), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cinco de Mayo runs red while Pink Flamingo is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
