Exotic Red vs Sweet Dreams
Exotic Red and Sweet Dreams come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Exotic Red reads as pink-red, while Sweet Dreams reads as blue-green — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 64-point LRV gap — 76 for Sweet Dreams vs 12 for Exotic Red — means Sweet Dreams will open up a space more effectively. Where Exotic Red leans red, Sweet Dreams reads green — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 84.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
