Begonia vs Iron Ore

BegoniaSherwin-WilliamsvsIron OreSherwin-WilliamsΔE 54.8Very different colors

Begonia and Iron Ore come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Begonia belongs to the pink-red family and Iron Ore to the grey family. The 21-point LRV gap — 26 for Begonia vs 6 for Iron Ore — means Begonia will open up a space more effectively. Where Begonia leans warm, Iron Ore reads neutral — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 54.8 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. 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. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
