Cherries Jubilee vs Hot
Cherries Jubilee and Hot come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. These are both pink-reds, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within pink-red to land. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 12 vs 14 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Cherries Jubilee leans warm, Hot reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. ΔE 8.3 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below you'll find 10 real-room photo comparisons where both colors appear side by side, plus 5 simulated room previews.
Cherries Jubilee vs Hot in Real Spaces
10 real rooms side by side. Cherries Jubilee and Hot are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
A living room wall sees more varied light than almost any other surface in the house, which makes the choice between these two more nuanced than a chip suggests. Cherries Jubilee brings more warmth to the space, while Hot keeps things cooler and crisper.
Bedroom
Bedrooms are typically lit with warmer, lower light than the rest of the house — a condition that flatters warm tones and deepens cool ones. Hot reads more restrained here, while Cherries Jubilee adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Kitchen
Kitchens often have the harshest, most revealing light in the house — under-cabinet LEDs and overhead fixtures that strip away subtlety. Hot reads more restrained here, while Cherries Jubilee adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Dining Room
Dining rooms often rely on warm incandescent or candlelight, which flatters warm undertones and mutes cool ones. The temperature contrast between Cherries Jubilee and Hot is what sets these apart most in this context.
Bathroom
Small bathrooms intensify color. A shade that seems quiet in a larger room can feel immersive when you're surrounded by it on four walls. Hot reads more restrained here, while Cherries Jubilee adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Home Office
Home office walls matter more than most — you're looking at them all day, and a color that reads fine at first can become tiring over time. Hot reads more restrained here, while Cherries Jubilee adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Mudroom
In a hardworking space like a mudroom, the depth and warmth of a color reads differently than in a quieter room. The temperature contrast between Cherries Jubilee and Hot is what sets these apart most in this context.
Patio
Exterior colors look different in open light — both tend to read lighter outside than on an interior swatch, and shadows read more strongly. The temperature contrast between Cherries Jubilee and Hot is what sets these apart most in this context.
House
A full exterior is the most demanding test for a paint color — scale and outdoor light both amplify differences that seem small on a swatch. Hot reads more restrained here, while Cherries Jubilee adds a sense of enclosure and warmth.
Front Door
On a front door, the color is both the first and last thing you see — a context where even a modest tonal difference reads clearly. Cherries Jubilee brings more warmth to the space, while Hot keeps things cooler and crisper.

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.
