Raphael vs Artichoke
Raphael (Benjamin Moore) and Artichoke (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Hue-wise, Raphael belongs to the pink family and Artichoke to the grey family. The 15-point LRV gap — 21 for Artichoke vs 7 for Raphael — means Artichoke will open up a space more effectively. Where Raphael leans red, Artichoke reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 33.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
