Begonia vs Rita's Rouge

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Begonia (LRV 26) reflects noticeably more light than Rita's Rouge (LRV 24), a difference of 3 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 15.7, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
