Red Gumball vs Positive Red
Red Gumball is a PPG color while Positive Red comes from Sherwin-Williams. 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 12 and 11, they'll behave almost identically in terms of how much light they reflect back into a room. At ΔE 6.7, the difference is perceptible but not dramatic — the two can work harmoniously in the same space.
