Pompeii Red vs Scarlet

Pompeii Red and Scarlet come from the same Sherwin-Williams collection. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 4-point LRV gap — 10 for Scarlet vs 6 for Pompeii Red — means Scarlet 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. A ΔE of 12.0 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
