Red Earth vs Rojo Dust
Red Earth is a Farrow & Ball color while Rojo Dust comes from Sherwin-Williams. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. At LRV 28 vs 23, Red Earth will read as the brighter of the two — a 4-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. They share a warm quality — useful to know if you're layering them in the same space. At ΔE 6.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below you'll find 2 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Red Earth vs Rojo Dust in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Red Earth and Rojo Dust are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
Living rooms test a color across a full range of conditions — morning sun, afternoon shade, and evening lamp light all shift how both of these read. Red Earth has the edge in reflectance, which shows as a quiet sense of added space rather than an obvious contrast.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Red Earth on one side and Rojo Dust 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.
