Carmine vs Red Cedar
Carmine (Little Greene) and Red Cedar (PPG) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 4-point LRV gap — 29 for Red Cedar vs 25 for Carmine — means Red Cedar will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 7.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.

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.
