Pleasing PinkPPGvsPocketful of PromiseValsparΔE 6.4Noticeable difference

Where Pleasing Pink belongs to PPG's range, Pocketful of Promise is a Valspar color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Pleasing Pink (LRV 67) reflects noticeably more light than Pocketful of Promise (LRV 62), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 6.4 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
