Orient red vs Poinsettia
Orient red (RAL Classic) and Poinsettia (Sherwin-Williams) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 3-point LRV gap — 14 for Orient red vs 10 for Poinsettia — means Orient red will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 6.4 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.
