Framboise vs Kimono Violet
Framboise and Kimono Violet come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Framboise reads as pink, while Kimono Violet reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 8 vs 6 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Both share a cool character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. A ΔE of 16.9 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
