Leather vs Heartthrob
Where Leather belongs to Little Greene's range, Heartthrob is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Leather (LRV 16) reflects noticeably more light than Heartthrob (LRV 11), a difference of 6 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Leather runs red while Heartthrob is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 14.4, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
