Rave Red vs Terrakotta
Rave Red (Sherwin-Williams) and Terrakotta (Tikkurila) come from different manufacturers. Both sit in the pink-red family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. The 3-point LRV gap — 14 for Terrakotta vs 11 for Rave Red — means Terrakotta will open up a space more effectively. A ΔE of 17.5 puts these firmly in different territory — two distinct design choices rather than close alternatives.
