Crushed Roses vs Mezeron
Where Crushed Roses belongs to PPG's range, Mezeron is a Tikkurila color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Crushed Roses (LRV 52) reflects noticeably more light than Mezeron (LRV 48), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 5.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
