Earthen Jug vs Spicy Hue
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Earthen Jug belongs to the beige-pink family and Spicy Hue to the pink-red family. Earthen Jug (LRV 17) reflects noticeably more light than Spicy Hue (LRV 12), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean warm, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 9.6 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
