Heat vs Iron Ore
Heat (Little Greene) and Iron Ore (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. Heat reads as beige-pink, while Iron Ore reads as grey — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Iron Ore has an LRV of 6. Where Heat leans red, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 57.3 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
