Summer Sun Pink vs Smoked Salmon
Where Summer Sun Pink belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Smoked Salmon is a PPG color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Summer Sun Pink (LRV 45) reflects noticeably more light than Smoked Salmon (LRV 36), a difference of 9 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 7.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
