Crushed Velvet vs Hibiscus
Where Crushed Velvet belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Hibiscus is a Jotun color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Hibiscus (LRV 14) reflects noticeably more light than Crushed Velvet (LRV 9), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Crushed Velvet runs red while Hibiscus is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 17.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
