Cotton Candy vs Young At Heart
Where Cotton Candy belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Young At Heart 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. Young At Heart (LRV 80) reflects noticeably more light than Cotton Candy (LRV 77), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cotton Candy runs red while Young At Heart is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.2, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
