Burgundy vs Framboise
Burgundy and Framboise come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Burgundy reads as pink-red, while Framboise reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 5 vs 8 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Burgundy leans warm, Framboise reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 14.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
