Merry Pink vs Panache Pink
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Merry Pink reads as pink, while Panache Pink reads as pink-red — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (64 vs 64), so they'll read as similarly Light in most lighting conditions. Both lean cool, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. The ΔE 3.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.
