Cherry Plum vs In The Pink
Where Cherry Plum belongs to Dulux's range, In The Pink is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. In The Pink (LRV 59) reflects noticeably more light than Cherry Plum (LRV 33), a difference of 26 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 7.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
