Red River Clay vs Red Earth
Where Red River Clay belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Red Earth is a Farrow & Ball color. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Red Earth (LRV 28) reflects noticeably more light than Red River Clay (LRV 23), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Red River Clay runs red while Red Earth is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 8.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
