Fireworks vs Tempo Teal

Fireworks and Tempo Teal come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Fireworks reads as pink-red, while Tempo Teal reads as blue — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 17 vs 19 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Fireworks leans warm, Tempo Teal reads cool — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 99.4 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
