Inner Child vs Smoky Salmon

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Hue-wise, Inner Child belongs to the pink-red family and Smoky Salmon to the beige-pink family. Inner Child (LRV 58) reflects noticeably more light than Smoky Salmon (LRV 52), a difference of 6 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 4.9 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
