Desireé vs X478
Where Desireé belongs to Cloverdale Paint's range, X478 is a Tikkurila color. These are both pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink to land. X478 (LRV 51) reflects noticeably more light than Desireé (LRV 47), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
