Kirsch Red vs Rambling Rose

Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Kirsch Red reads as pink-red, while Rambling Rose reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Rambling Rose (LRV 15) reflects noticeably more light than Kirsch Red (LRV 12), a difference of 4 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. With a ΔE of 10.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
