Begonia vs Lusty Red

Begonia and Lusty Red come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 14-point LRV gap — 26 for Begonia vs 13 for Lusty Red — means Begonia will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 18.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
