River Rouge vs Salmon Pink
Both from PPG's palette. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Salmon Pink (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than River Rouge (LRV 43), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.2 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
