Carmine vs Grenadine
Carmine (Little Greene) and Grenadine (PPG) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 10-point LRV gap — 25 for Carmine vs 15 for Grenadine — means Carmine will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 13.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Carmine vs Grenadine Simulated Comparison
5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Carmine on one side and Grenadine 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.
