Cayenne vs Flamingo

CayenneSherwin-WilliamsvsFlamingoTikkurilaΔE 24.0Distinct difference

Cayenne (Sherwin-Williams) and Flamingo (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. The 17-point LRV gap — 34 for Flamingo vs 17 for Cayenne — means Flamingo will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 24.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

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.
