Picture Gallery Red vs Reddish
Where Picture Gallery Red belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Reddish 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. Reddish (LRV 21) reflects noticeably more light than Picture Gallery Red (LRV 16), a difference of 5 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 8.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
