ΔE 9.0 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Oxblood on one side and Black red on the other.
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.
