Mardi Gras vs Prom Dress
Mardi Gras and Prom Dress come from the same Benjamin Moore collection. Mardi Gras reads as pink-red, while Prom Dress reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 19 vs 21 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a red character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 13.5 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.

Mardi Gras vs Prom Dress Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Mardi Gras on one side and Prom Dress on the other.
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.
