Lagoon vs Rose Brocade

Lagoon and Rose Brocade come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Lagoon reads as blue, while Rose Brocade reads as pink — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Their light reflectance values are nearly the same — 20 vs 19 — so neither will read significantly brighter or darker than the other. Where Lagoon leans cool, Rose Brocade reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes. A ΔE of 38.1 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
