Lazy Afternoon vs Plum Dandy
Where Lazy Afternoon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Plum Dandy is a Sherwin-Williams color. Lazy Afternoon reads as pink, while Plum Dandy reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (18 vs 17), so they'll read as similarly Dark in most lighting conditions. Lazy Afternoon runs red while Plum Dandy is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
