Cayenne vs Persimmon
Cayenne and Persimmon come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Hue-wise, Cayenne belongs to the pink-red family and Persimmon to the beige-pink family. The 22-point LRV gap — 39 for Persimmon vs 17 for Cayenne — means Persimmon 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 33.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.

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.
