Mischief vs Red Licorice

MischiefLittle GreenevsRed LicoricePPGΔE 11.5Distinct difference

Mischief is a Little Greene color while Red Licorice comes from PPG. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. With LRVs of 13 and 12, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 11.5, these are genuinely distinct colors — a strong contrast if used together, or a meaningful choice between two different directions. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
