Hot Spice vs Salmon Run

Hot Spice 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 12-point LRV gap — 40 for Salmon Run vs 27 for Hot Spice — 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 24.2 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
