Cherry Plum vs Irresistible
Where Cherry Plum belongs to Dulux's range, Irresistible is a Sherwin-Williams color. Cherry Plum reads as pink-red, while Irresistible reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Irresistible (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. Cherry Plum runs warm while Irresistible is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
