Poppy vs Pepper Red

PoppyBenjamin MoorevsPepper RedDuluxΔE 5.3Noticeable difference

Poppy is a Benjamin Moore color while Pepper Red comes from Dulux. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. With LRVs of 15 and 15, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. The tonal difference — Poppy's red character against Pepper Red's warm — becomes most visible against white trim or in morning light. At ΔE 5.3, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. 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.
