Confetti vs Iron Ore
Confetti (Little Greene) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Confetti reads as pink-red, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 61-point LRV gap — 67 for Confetti vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Confetti will open up a space more effectively. Where Confetti leans red, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 57.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

Confetti vs Iron Ore in Real Spaces
3 real rooms side by side. Seeing Confetti and Iron Ore in actual rooms makes the difference concrete; browse the spaces below to get a feel for how each color lives on a wall.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Confetti returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Confetti returns significantly more light to the room — in a smaller or darker space, that difference in perceived brightness is hard to miss.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Confetti on one side and Iron Ore 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.
