Crabby Apple vs Cayenne
Crabby Apple (Sherwin-Williams) and Cayenne (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 3-point LRV gap — 10 for Cayenne vs 7 for Crabby Apple — means Cayenne will open up a space more effectively. ΔE 6.5 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room.
