Jovial vs Smoky Salmon
Jovial and Smoky Salmon come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Jovial reads as pink-red, while Smoky Salmon reads as beige-pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. The 3-point LRV gap — 56 for Jovial vs 52 for Smoky Salmon — means Jovial will open up a space more effectively. Both share a warm character, which means they'll respond to light and surrounding materials in similar ways. ΔE 6.2 means they're clearly different, but not dramatically so — they'd pair well in the same room. Below, 5 simulated room previews show how each color reads at scale — real-room photos will be added as they become available.

5 simulated room previews — drag the slider on each to see Jovial on one side and Smoky Salmon on the other.
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
