Dinner Party vs Eating Room Red
Where Dinner Party belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Eating Room Red is a Farrow & Ball color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Eating Room Red (LRV 12) reflects noticeably more light than Dinner Party (LRV 8), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Dinner Party runs red while Eating Room Red is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.7 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
