Rum Raisin vs Red Prairie

Rum RaisinPPGvsRed PrairieSherwin-WilliamsΔE 7.9Noticeable difference

Rum Raisin is a PPG color while Red Prairie 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. At LRV 12 vs 9, Rum Raisin will read as the brighter of the two — a 3-point gap that matters most in north-facing or low-light rooms. At ΔE 7.9, 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.

Digital color is approximate.

Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
