Persimmon vs Henna Shade
Where Persimmon belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Henna Shade is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Persimmon (LRV 24) reflects noticeably more light than Henna Shade (LRV 20), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Persimmon runs red while Henna Shade is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
