Tea vs Picture Gallery Red
Where Tea belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Picture Gallery Red 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. Picture Gallery Red (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Tea (LRV 10), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Tea runs red while Picture Gallery Red is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.5 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below you'll find 1 real-room photo comparison where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.

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.
