Dog's Ear vs Merry Pink
Where Dog's Ear belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Merry Pink is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (66 vs 64), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Dog's Ear runs neutral while Merry Pink is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 4.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
