Cochineal Red vs York Gray
Cochineal Red and York Gray come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Cochineal Red reads as pink-red, while York Gray reads as beige-greige — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 46-point LRV gap — 59 for York Gray vs 13 for Cochineal Red — means York Gray 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. A ΔE of 60.6 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 Cochineal Red on one side and York Gray 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.
