Bordeaux vs Cayenne
Where Bordeaux belongs to PPG's range, Cayenne is a Tikkurila color. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Cayenne (LRV 10) reflects noticeably more light than Bordeaux (LRV 7), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

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.
