Ladybug Red vs Pepper Red

Ladybug RedBenjamin MoorevsPepper RedDuluxΔE 3.2Noticeable difference

Where Ladybug Red belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Pepper Red is a Dulux color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (14 vs 15), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Ladybug Red runs red while Pepper Red is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
