Persimmon vs Red Earth
Persimmon (Benjamin Moore) and Red Earth (Farrow & Ball) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 4-point LRV gap — 28 for Red Earth vs 24 for Persimmon — means Red Earth will open up a space more effectively. Where Persimmon leans red, Red Earth reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 7.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
