Cheery vs Vivacious Pink

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Cheery belongs to the pink-red family and Vivacious Pink to the pink family. Cheery (LRV 41) reflects noticeably more light than Vivacious Pink (LRV 36), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Cheery runs warm while Vivacious Pink is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 9.0 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
