Modern Romance vs Hibiscus
Modern Romance (Benjamin Moore) and Hibiscus (Jotun) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 14 for Hibiscus vs 11 for Modern Romance — means Hibiscus will open up a space more effectively. Where Modern Romance leans red, Hibiscus reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 11.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
