Flame vs Salmon Run

FlameBenjamin MoorevsSalmon RunBenjamin MooreΔE 33.1 — Very different colors

Flame and Salmon Run come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 18-point LRV gap — 40 for Salmon Run vs 21 for Flame — means Salmon Run will open up a space more effectively. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 33.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
