Bolero vs Habanero Chile
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Habanero Chile (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Bolero (LRV 9), a difference of 6 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 15.0, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate.
