Artistic Taupe vs X478
Artistic Taupe (Sherwin-Williams) and X478 (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both pinks, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink to land. The 5-point LRV gap — 51 for X478 vs 46 for Artistic Taupe — means X478 will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 3.9 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
