Mountain LaurelPPGvsPocketful of PromiseValsparΔE 9.5Noticeable difference

Mountain Laurel is a PPG color while Pocketful of Promise comes from Valspar. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. At LRV 65 vs 62, Mountain Laurel will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 9.5, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
