Salmon orange vs Emotional
Where Salmon orange belongs to RAL Classic's range, Emotional is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Salmon orange (LRV 25) reflects noticeably more light than Emotional (LRV 21), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. The ΔE 4.8 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
