Minstrel Heart vs River Rouge
Where Minstrel Heart belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, River Rouge is a PPG 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 (42 vs 43), so they'll read as similarly Medium in most lighting conditions. The ΔE 4.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
